So you're saying Apple has been hyping 64-bit for the last six years? No way!

I guess, I'm not the pro here, just passing along information. Nevertheless, SL is running better than Leopard.
 
How do I know if my macbrook pro is 64 bit ready?

I have a 15" late 2008:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Don't know much about this, but want to make sure that I will be able to take advantage of the apps that will be in 64 bit with SL
 
The entire Unibody MacBook Pro line would be 64-bit kernel ready. But to be honest, you can run 64-bit even on Leopard as shown in this screenshot.
