Upgrading to Snow Leopard, 64 bit

[WhiteShadow]

How do I know which version of Snow Leopard I installed? I want the 64 bit version. Is there somewhere I can check to verify if I have installed the 64 bit version?

There is only one version. Whether or not you can use it is up to your computer.

Both are on the same DVD. If your computer can support it, it installs the 64 bit version automatically.

What are the requirements again? Intel and above?

64-bit CPU and EFI

You will have to press the 6 and 4 to boot into 64 bit mode. I did both ways and kernal task (in activity monitor) will show 64 bit when you do this. Otherwise its 32 bit.

Any difference speed wisely?

awesome, thanks for the responses.

I assume that all of the aluminum macbooks are 64-bit?

 

[IBradMac]

Yeah, where do you look to check that?

Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor

If you look down the right hand side it shows Intel 64 bit, for the processes that are.
