I have a new IMAC with SL and when I watch ESPN 360 I have to switch it to 32 bit mode. Can I leave it in 32 bit mode or should I switch it back after the game? I am sure it has to do with certain programs and I do not have anything unusual on my computer.
 
Switch what to 32-bit mode?

Safari? Some ESPN app? Or the whole computer?

If it's the whole computer, then you should know that 64-bit OS X can run 32-bit apps just fine (such as iTunes, Firefox, and Adium which are running right now as I write).

If it's Safari, you better put it back in 64-bit after as it's faster and more stable in the 64-bit version.
 
32 bit

It's Safari you have to switch to 32 bit to watch ESPN. You answered my question.
