Hi! Now that we are talking about 32-bit and 64-bit, I know that regular Macbooks cannot boot into 64-bit mode. It also sounds like there is some confusion.
No Mac, Pro or otherwise, boots into 64-bit by default. You either have to set it, or hold down 6 and 4 during startup. This is the kernel. Snow Leopard is 64-bit, but that only means it runs 64-bit applications. It does not use the 64-bit extentions, which is the kernel booting as 64-bit. If anyone tries this, I'd like to know about their compatibility issues, speed, etc. Regards, Nic GoogleTalk: [email protected] Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: [email protected] Yahoo!
