Snow Leopard, the latest OS offering from Apple, promised to be both 64-bit and faster. The question is whether Apple delivered those promises and whether those improvements impact modeling.

First, I got Snow Leopard booting to the 64-bit Snow Leopard kernal. There are instructions how to do this out there on the web (note that you don't have to bother if your machine is 64-Bit and you're running the server version).

More info below the fold..
