Thank you so much -- this is very handy to have.

I ran with it for a day and back in 64-bit for another day. No trouble that I could trigger, but performance-wise this isn't the gain I was secretly hoping for. I think Snow Leopard just needs more RAM to run comfortably. (I have good experience on a MacBook Pro with 8 GB, and hope this one will be OK when maxed out to the 4 GB it can take.)

Thanks again,
Francois Z.

I was going to mention that, since I added that boot flag anyway.

It was added for our test people who didn't want to change their scripts.

Going forward, you should expect 32 bit to go away. It's one of my personal missions to murder it.

Hi,

The only sure-fire way to force the entire system 32-bit - don't do it! - is to PERMANENTLY disable all 64-bit code by piping find through lipo under sudo,

Well, it looks like the the "-no64exec" boot argument might also do the trick.
