[MacTUG] 64 bit follow-up

[Steve Hellyer]

As a followup to last Tuesdays presentation. Here is a neat third  
party (free) System Preference to set booting to/from 64 boot kernel  
in Snow Leopard (10.6).

Also this Apple article describes what I mentioned on the slides  
regarding keys and command line version to boot into 64 or 32 bit.

It will also lead you to this article < http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770 
  > which describes which Macs can use 64 bit kernel.

Keep in mind if you have less than 8 GB RAM you like won't see much  
performance differences by booting into 64 bit.

Cheers,

Steve
