This should work:
a = peek4u(mem) + (peek4u(mem+4) * power(2,32))
poke4( mem, a )
poke4( mem + 4, floor(a * power( 2, -32 )) )
Of course, if your number is bigger than 2^52, you'll lose precision, since
that's how big the mantissa is for 64-bit fp numbers.

In addition to the other posts...
It helps to know exactly what you are intending to use these
64 bit numbers for too.
Take care,
