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.)
