Not too far I already have pre-orders in for a few copies.

This explains a lot. Some things run in 32 bit, some in 64 bit. It all depends. http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html "There is a lot of confusion about the fact that Snow Leopard starts by default with a 32-bit kernel even though nearly everything else is 64-bit (according to Apple all system applications except DVD Player, Front Row, Grapher, and iTunes have been rewritten in 64-bit)." "Snow Leopard is 64-bit for all users with a 64-bit CPU. The applications are, the memory space is. The ONLY THING that doesn't load into 64-bit - ON PURPOSE - is the kernel!" "The problem is compatibility with third-party drivers. Some programs are so deeply intertwined with the OS that they reach deeply into its bowels and modify its core, the kernel - these drivers are called kernel extensions (or kext)." BTW, the new Mac OS ships this Friday. M$'s Vista replacement is still way out there in the future.
