[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 902258, member: 96273"] Yes, that is what he is saying. Right now you are capable of running a 64 bit kernel also, but it would be ill advised to do so since most of your kernel extensions are written for a 32 bit kernel. Given time after developers change to include 64 bit compatible kernel extensions, perhaps more macs running SL will default to a 64 bit kernel. However, all macs with a 64 bit processor that are running 64 bit apps are running the apps and taking full advantage of the 64 bit processing power. [/QUOTE]
