Precisely. Apple knows that some drivers won't work right with the 64
kernel, but it doesn't know if you have such drivers. It suspects
that you probably do so the default is 32 bit. You can try 64 by
starting up with the "6" and "4" keys depressed and from then on it
will run with the 64 kernel. If you run into trouble you restart with
"3" and "2" depressed and that puts you back to a 32 kernel. A very
elegant solution to a problem that gave Vista users conniptions.
What I don't understand is why WFBs have such a hard time
understanding something so simple.
