Is there an official Apple-supplied list of which Macs (PPC and
Intel) are capable of running 64-bit applications? I need something
to refer customers to so they can verify whether their machine is 64-
bit capable or not. Obviously I could supply a tiny app to tell
them, but it's a bit pointless and politically incorrect to have to
have a download for this.
So even better, is there a convenient GUI-based way for a user to
check this? I don't see anything in "About this Mac". Since there
are no running 64-bit processes by default, I can't tell them to
check Activity Monitor. A standard app that will always start in 64-
bit mode so it can be checked from Application Monitor? (These are
ordinary users, no Developer Tools or command-line methods).
IIRC, Chess.app launch as 64bits app in Leopard on 64 bits compatible
computers.
You can then check in the Activity Monitor to see if this is a 64 bit
process.
It's important for this information to be readily available --- it's
hard to push 64-bit apps if no one can tell if their machine can
really run one or not.
Also: how can a customer easily choose to run the 32-bit version of
a 32/64 universal app? This may prove occasionally necessary to
accommodate missing QTKit functionality.
Thanks.
