Make sure you boot using the 64 bit kernel. If that's the case then yes I'd run native 64 apps if it were me. On Nov 2, 2010, at 4:57 PM, Joshua Loya wrote: > It does. Thanks. So then, for something like VLC, which has distributions for > 32, 64, and a combination distribution for both, I assum

Hi, I am unable to tell whether the processor in my Macbook Pro is 32 or 64 bit. I have a 15" Macbook Pro with an I7 processor. In the system profiler, is says that there is one processor and 2 cores. Does anybody have any useful information regarding this? Thanks, Joshua -- You received this
