[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1001392, member: 24160"] The firmware and the processor are two totally separate things. The EFI firmware is what boots your computer. Yes, with EFI 64, your machine can boot into a 64 bit kernel. Mine is EFI32 and cannot boot into 64 bit, but once booted, the Core2Duo chip is able to run 64 bit applications. You still need to test whether all of your apps and drivers are going to work if booted into 64 bit mode prior to making a permanent change in your boot preference file. After you have verified through testing, and want to make the change, I'd suggest downloading Text Wrangler for editing the file. [/QUOTE]
