Well I believe my MBP has 8 cores so I'm not sure about that unless I
misunderstood. Could be two processors I have no idea the physical
configuration.

Ok, I think I have the answer.
Quadcore is the high end then if you add hyper threading you get 8 virtual
cores (apple's term not mine) or more accurately the OS thinks there are 8
cores which is a product of hyper
. Such as the optoron or xeon processor ranges.

If you've got an I7 procesor, then you have 1 processor. However built into
that is two separate processors, or more like two pathways for things to
work on / down.
Infact I thought the I7 range was quad core. Interesting.
\ and without a doubt. The i7 and i5 range of processors are 64 bit, which
I'm not sure I think they go more than 4 cores.

For those hardware crazed individuals out there... Try MacTracker. I
used it about 10 years ago, when I needed to know about programing in
detail. It knows technical specifications of most Macintosh models.
I am not sure if it works with Voice Over though.

Hmmm.
I just had a look at wikipedia and there do seem to be quad core
notebook cpu's but I can't find an 8 core.

I have a friend who recently acquired a Windows based laptop with a quad core
I7 configuration.

Sounds more reasonable.

Hi
First, if you have an I7 you obviously have a 64 bit processor.
That asside
look for the values of IODeviceTree and grep for firmware-abi
that value will tell you the value of your controler wich will be 32 or 64.
Use the normal io tools under terminal to display this output.
Hope that
It does. Thanks. So then, for something like VLC, which has distributions for
32, 64, and a combination distribution for both, I assume I'm better off
installing the 64 bit package, or is there anything else I need to be concerned
about?
Thanks,
Joshua

Make sure you boot using the 64 bit kernel.
If that's the case then yes I'd run native 64 apps if it were me.
