64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hello all, My system as below (from 'about this Mac') does not install the 64 bit options. It is less than two years old and should, according to Apple, install the 64 bit version. There are no PPC Apps on the system. Any hints?

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hi Paul, No, your Mac Pro 2,1 is not capable. The 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 Mac Pro 4,1 are capable of booting into 64- bit kernel. That means holding down the 6 and 4 keys at boot. Only the early 2008 Xserve 2,1 and Early Xserve 3,1 have K64 status Default.

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hi Ronni, Shay, I found the following Terminal command: ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi The answer is: firmware-abi = EFI32 so the firmware is the older version. I purchased the Mac Pro from Apple in May 2008 so it maybe a borderline version? I have send an email to Apple Support, let us see what they say.

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
It might be worth mentioning that 64-bit mode isn't required to run 64-bit apps. You only need 64-bit kernel mode if you're going to be accessing more than 64GB of RAM or need more than 4G of kernel address space. Take a look at the Activity Monitor and you should see Intel (64 bit) under the process type for a good majority of your apps and services running. OS X runs 64-bit apps perfectly fine with a 32-bit kernel and 32-bit drivers so long as you have a 64-bit CPU.
