So, if the statement on support page "means" 64-bit kernel is now also supported, then at least it's bundled plugins should work. But again, not made very clear (perhaps in purpose to help selling against Logic) and in that case the possible benefits of running 64-bit kernel should be also explained. |

Nothing except its a big hairy ugly monster that will cause problems for and destabilize stuff working now. If it was easy to do technically and free of nasty impacts Avid (and Apple and other vendors with similar products with related issues) would have done it to all their products already.

As some other plugin vendors seem to have managed to workaround the issue by using other engines, maybe that's the way for Avid as well (without touching the existing/working architecture)... |

As MAC are the preferred platform for media editing with space for 16/32 ram the systems have always been more robust. Geographically MACs over the last 6 years have become more available. Mac shops popping up all around, which in England is a rather new thing. While the states have been MAC happy for years I feel the U.k is just starting to have MAC's as a valid competitive choice. Sure you had audio guys using the G4's/G5's but in the last 3 years it's gone SUPER GLOBAL. It's true. If a system is 32Bit & could/can access 16/32GB of RAM, 64Bit really doesn't have any appeal. 64Bit then becomes a formality. On the other hand if your PC O/S requires 64Bit to access over 4GB, that's another story. Then 64Bit becomes a necessary crucial factor. Hence the reason I suppose why MAC dudes are "What's the hurry" & PC's dudes are "I hope it's sorted out" |

Re: E.T.A On P.T 9 64bit?
Please excuse my ignorance, but is the standard config and boot-up of the current MBP's OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard 32-bit kernel or 64-bit kernel? I gather from this thread I want to operate in 32-bit kernel esp. considering my 4GB RAM. But do I have to do anything special to boot up in 32-bit kernel or is that the standard boot config for MBP? Am I even making sense? (I'm out of my element).
Thanks.

Honestly, I think there is a little too much debate about 32bit vs. 64bit EFI on a 64bit OS, since most people don't even know what it even does. Basically, it comes down to this: If you install some 32bit software and it ain't working properly, you can try booting the OS in 32bit kernel by holding down 3 and 2 during bootup. However, it is my understanding that only the latest Mac Pros actually default to 64bit kernel on bootup. So it's most likely the other way around for you. Meaning, to boot into 64bit kernel on a Macbook, hold down 6 and 4 during bootup.
