[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 900867, member: 112842"] Thanks. That diagram is helpful. The problem with the terminology is that others use it incorrectly, which is the source of my confusion. Now, back to my original question, which still has not been addressed directly. It's a simple question, really; a yes or no question: If one has a 64-bit kernel, but a 32-bit EFI, then is it true that configuration cannot take full advantage of the enhanced speed of Snow Leopard? While I don't need to know in order to use my Mac, I want to know more just for the sake of increasing my knowledge base. I'm assuming that newer Macs have a 64-bit EFI. [/QUOTE]
