Do I need a 64 bit processor on my Mac Pro to run CS6 and Lightroom 4?

[rr3rd]

I would like to install Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 4 on my 2008 Mac Pro but may not have the right processor to run it.  I know I will have to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8 to at least OS X 10.6.8.  The system requirements specify a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support.  I have a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.  Does this mean my Mac will not run this software at all or slowly at best?  Will I only be able to use this software if I buy a new computer?

Here is what I have now:

Please see the tech specs for LR 4 : http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html

LR 4 and CS 6 applications will not run on 10.5.8, you need atleast 10.6.8 to run these applications.
