SL still uses a 32 bit kernel by default. The 64 bit kernel is |
| 2 |
optional on supported hardware (hold down 64 while booting). Only SL |
| 3 |
Server on an xserve uses the 64 bit kernel by default iirc. I guess |
| 4 |
the reasoning is to give consumer hardware vendors a chance to write |
| 5 |
64 bit kexts. On the other hand, most applications from Apple (Finder, |
| 6 |
Terminal, Safari...) now support 64 bit, but obviously also only if |
| 7 |
the hardware supports it (so on a core not-2 duo everything will be 32 |
| 8 |
bit as before). |
