Customizing Tip: 64-bit Mode Snowie

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 5:37 PM
I just realized I can easily run my MacBook Pro Unibody in 64-bit mode. I haven't figured out why I might want to do this yet but I can and so of course I have to do it. It feels good but again, not sure why.

I actually stumbled on this feature while reading about Mac Pilot. it said it could do this and I am sure I saw the feature but now I can't find it. But don't worry, it's easy to do. Just check the compatibility chart on the link below. If your machine is listed there (and you are running Snow Leopard of course) then shut your machine down and restart it. As soon as you start it back up, hold down the number 6 and number 4 keys until you see the Apple logo and the spinning wheel. Then let go. Once you get running check System Profiler/Software and make sure it worked.

I noticed that CandyBar recognizes 64-bit mode in that it has an option to run in 32-bit mode but I can't find any other applications like that. Not CS4. The machine seems to run exactly the same. No big performance boost or anything. In fact, it seems exactly the same. But who cares, it's 64-bit mode so it just has to be better right? I am such a sucker.
