On the web page http://wiki.sagemath.org/DownloadAndInstallationGuide, there is 
some slight misinformation for Macintosh 
computers which seems to be causing some people to have confusion about which 
version of Sage to install. If the Processor 
type is reported as "Intel Core Duo", people should be directed to install the 
32-bit Intel version of the software, even if the O/S 
is running MacOS X 1.5 or greater, because these processors are 32-bit and not 
64-bit, even though the O/S is 64-bit capable.

Running the 64-bit application on a 32-bit processor will result in the 
commonly found error:

> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> | Sage Version 4.3.2, Release Date: 2010-02-06                       |
> | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> env: python: Bad CPU type in executable
