The last 32-bit, Intel Mac was the Mac Mini, discontinued in August 2007. The

Mac OS X started supporting 64-bit console application since Tiger. Since
Leopard it supports 64-bit gui apps. Currently we

MacOS 10.5 is still largely 32-bit. MacOS 10.6 is largely 64-bit. Both are capable of compiling and running for the alternative word-size choice, fairly transparently. 10.6 was released August 2009, but there are likely plenty of people still running 10.5.Regards,

To make it clear. Leopard (released October 2007) fully supports x86_64
executables. Given upgrade rate of Mac community I think it's pretty safe to
state that majority of mac owners have x86-64 capable systems.

On OSX, as of 10.5, both the 32-bit kernel and the 64-bit kernel can seamlessly
run x86_64 binaries in 64-bit mode.
MacPorts now defaults to 64-bit for instance.
