so, i did a clean snow leopard install (MBP '11 - 4gb RAM) and i was wondering and i was wondering if it's normal that my system preference window reads 32-bit? shouldn't that be 64-bit?

i'm new to mac, so forgive me if i ask stupid questions.
thank you.
 
hey thank you for your time. you could be right i found somewhere that every every MBP '11 runs in 64-bit by default. it's just that i never noticed before that the main system preference window read 32-bit. i installed gamepad compagnon after the clean install and the 32-bit notification seems to show up after i work with that program. you are probably right.
thanx!
 
I think it depends on many factors. If you have a 3rd party item in system preferences that might be the culprit.
