Maybe this has been covered & I'm not searching with the right words but by updating to Snow Leopard, are we actually running in 64bit? This would make sense at this time because it will take a while for all software support to convert to 64bit. I've run 64bit Ubuntu Linux before & hardware/software support is a real pain. So, when Snow Leopard was announced as 64bit the 1st thing I thought of was it will be a real headache for a while.
Sometimes there's too much info on the net (& misleading info too) & while surfing I ran across several blogs that basically says Snow Leopard by default is still running @ 32bit. I took a quick look @ /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist as suggested in this article netkas.org » SnowLeopard and 64-bit. & according to the author, my iMac 9,1 is running 32bit, not 64bit.
So, is Snow Leopard running @ 64bit or 32?
