Myself, I have tested it only with X3100 and thats works for sure in 64bit Mode with QE/CI/OGL, but the GMA 950 Files are compiled for 64bit too.

AidenShaw might be right; it would make sense given that it will be atleast 3 1/2 - 4 years since Yonah was released. Although, what are they going to do for those with 32bit EFI? provide a firmware update? from what I understand, there is nothing technically supporting EFI32 from loading a 64bit kernel except for Apples artificial limitation placed on it.

The downside is, however, I'm still waiting for EyeTV to get their act together to provide a 64bit driver. I hope that they won't charge customers for it because it would be a real mood killer.

This is going to be a huge update, can't wait! A later build now supports writing to NTFS also?

Why not? Other Intel systems do it frequently. My Dell Studio XPS (Core i7-940) is on its 8th firmware release. Bug fixes, new hardware/CPU support, etc. No big deal to release and install new firmware. (My ProLiant systems can upgrade CPU BIOS, NIC firmware and drivers, RAID array firmware and drivers, and disk drive firmware while up and running - not even a reboot required.)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but people have been saying that they are dual-booting Windows 7 x64 and Vista x64 from those 32-bit EFI systems.

internet sharing bug

Since I have installed Snow Leopard I can't use the function in internet sharing that allows you to share your connection from ethernet to computers using Airport.
Please fix it in this build!!!

Networking between Mac and PC?

I got my first Windows machine (hp laptop) just after I upgraded to Snow Leopard; I haven't been able to connect them either wirelessly or via Ethernet for the life of me, I've looked around online and numerous people seem to be saying that SL broke their Windows connectivity...if this is the case it would be great to see a fix in 10.6.2.

I'd like to think they would but I am sceptical though given the behaviour of many hardware companies to leave their customers high and dry.

Windows x64, when EFI64 isn't present, it falls back to the old mode (which utilises the built in BIOS emulation included with Mac firmware).
