Mid-2010 MBP With i5 Is Still Running 32-bit Kernel & Extensions


Look at the second line from the bottom, which BTW is mind boggling. Why would Apple, of all tech companies, take the latest 64 bit processor from Intel, and then run the OS in 32 bits on it. While I have not tested with the i7, I presume that the results would be the same, as there are minor differences between the processors.

Snow Leopard is 64 bit. The processor is 64 bit. Why is the OS running in 32 bits then? Why, oh, why?

Ironically, most desktop hackintosh machines are running Snow Leopard in 64 bits.
