[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 899177, member: 71075"] Not defaulting to a 64-bit kernel was a smart move by Apple as most of the kernel extensions made available either by Apple or through applications are compiled for a 32-bit kernel. Moving to a 64-bit kernel precludes the use of applications that depend on 32-bit kexts as you can't load 32-bit kexts in a 64-bit kernel. [/QUOTE]
