You may boot Lion into 32-bit (arch=i386, in the boot loader's boot
flags), but the processor MUST support 64-bit because the Finder
expects
and requires a 64-bit processor even if almost everything else
doesn't.
Has anyone seen the Finder using even 1 GB of virtual memory, let
alone exceeding the 4 GB limit that necessitates 64-bit pointers?
