Anonymous Unregistered	I don't think the 64 bit issue is a problem. First, IBM said the cpu was capable of running both 32 and 64 bit applications. Secondly, Apple went throuh the 16 to 32 bit clean transition easily a long time ago. This will be a piece of cake compared to OS7/8/9 ->OSX .<br><br>philip<br><br><br>

rman Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/10/02 Posts: 2168 Loc: Los Angeles, California, USA	I concur. sgi moved from 32 bit to 64 bit some time ago, with no problem. I would expect the same for apple.<br><br> _________________________ Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain!

OSXaddict Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/22/01 Posts: 12402	Yeah, I agree. Transition will be easier since it does support both 32 and 64 bit. Can't wait to see these in new macs <br><br> _________________________ <br><br>my photos
