can anybody give us a hint if we can use that combination?

PostgreSQL 8.1 for Windows became unsupported over two years ago due to technical issues: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.865
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy

There were some major infrastructure changes in 8.3, including building the software using Microsoft's compiler instead of ported UNIX tools, that make it (or, even better, 8.4) a far better choice.

There is no specific 64-bit port of PostgreSQL yet, one is in progress for the next version but it's still missing a few things: http://blog.hagander.net/archives/160-64-bit-Windows-in-PostgreSQL.html

But you can run the regular 32-bit server just fine on the 64-bit versions, albeit with some concerns about client apps: http://blog.hagander.net/archives/73-PostgreSQL-vs-64-bit-windows.html
