On a semi-related note: The 32-bit EFI, 32-bit Core Duo Mac Mini (and maybe the equivalent Macbook) will only address 3 GB of RAM, not the 4GB maximum of 32-bit architecture. It is slightly annoying have two 2GB DIMMs in my Mini and only getting to see 3GB of it .... *sigh* .... at least the RAM itself was "free" out of a dead and scrapped laptop.
