Will Unibody MacBook run Snow Leo 64 bit?

[Catfish_Man]

fwiw the issue is more subtle than many here would think, and nobody has yet touched on what the actual requirement is. That said, I don't think there's any reason to care about this particular distinction* (yet. It'll matter for future hardware).


(sorry for vagueness, NDA)


*and I'm not referring to running 64 bit apps here. Any C2D should be able to do that fine.

I was unsure whether the core2duo in the aluminium macbooks are 64-bit,

call me a little naive or n00b but ive just switched to a mac,

does this mean the macbook aluminium 2.0ghz has a 64-bit core2duo?

thanks in advance.

If it's Core2Duo, it's 64bit architecture.

I have a 2007 macbook. Should I upgrade to 4GB RAM once Snow Leopard is released?

Almost all Apple apps will be utilizing the 64 bitness come October. It's up to the other companies like Adobe and Microsoft to come up with the other software.

Not necessarily, we're still waiting on a 64-bit version of Safari to run Java 6 applets. How long have we been waiting? Oh, only since October 26, 2007.
