The test for 64-bit functionality uses the 'sysctl' command, so we're using what _Apple_ reports for the machine. :-) You can check this yourself by running: sysctl hw.optional.x86_64 sysctl hw.optional.64bitops sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable The current test rules that a machine is 64-bit capable if one of those is set. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
