MITCH_DE  What .kext does the problem with 10.6 ?  
(Version 1.5)

KP4BJD  With my recent upgrade to 10.6.2 I have need to know which applications use only 32-bit kernel extensions and which run only 64-bit kexts, to help me decide whether to boot the native 64-bit Kernel or the old 32-bit one. Anyone posted a list?

THRULL  There is a preference pane for system preferences: http://www.thrull.com/corner/mac/SystemModeConfigurator/ which does similar things.

ROBERTCOOGAN  Definitely helped me out, now I have finally installed Vista (yes, I was stoopid to buy it, but I already spent the money), so I can now use Excel 2007.

The dev has done a great job of making a low maintenance, easy to use app. The inability to use some third-party apps while in 64 bit mode is annoying, but the dev built in a really obvious warning.

JOEMIKEB  Works as advertised on my 3.06GHz iMac Core 2 Duo. My only quibble is just that a quibble. It would be nice if this were a preference pane which is the only reason I did not rate it as a 5 overall.

MARKUS WINTER  First off I wrote a little program. Nothing special but useful. Have done it before (Transform, Safari 4 Modifier) and put it out as donationware. Not that I got many.

So I think I might as well give 50% of the donations to my mothers charity. Might even result in a rise in donations. Win-win either way.

Works indeed - except that some people donate a LOT (1x $250, 1x $100, 6x $50) and it just doesn't feel right to keep 50% of that. So I decide to give everything to the relief project.

I have a website which should answer all questions about the program, and even has my home address and landline phone number. The relief project has my mother's address and landline phone number. So we are easily traced. The address of the banks and the acoount details are on there. So people can contact me, my mother, the bank if they have any doubts about the project. I put my name and reputation behind it.

And I'm getting a bit sick of people who do not read the information provided, who do not do any background checks, but think it is ok to insinuate wrongdoing on my part.

And to the ones who complain about me asking for donations - I wonder how many of you actually have donated. I have a feeling I know the answer.

WILLYA  Works perfectly on my Macbook Pro. My only suggestion is to make this a System Preference pane.

DESIGN-Q  Sorry, can't help but to comment. Pity to the developer from all the abuses but his attitude does not help at all. All the info should be in this page since people get to know this appl. from this site mostly and did not came across directly from his accompanying website.

That aside, this app does work i.e. it sticks as oppose to the the start up shortcut 'cmd 6 4' which you have to do it each time (at this point of SL release, better this way IMHO since not many appl. take advantage of SL already).

All this depends on yr Intel Mac however i.e. pre-2007 (or something) does not work due to the HW. All being said, reading all the comments below re. users comments and developer cry about the goodwill donation to charity really give bad lights to the release here. If it is for charity, leave it to the people to decide, not pressing them with all the comments about number of visitors/downloads vs total donations received. WTF.

For those who prefer using terminal there's an easy solution at the foot of the comments (comment #1) or for start up shortcut, comment #4. Chill!

BLOOBIE  What is the point of this app, may I ask? Unless you have more than 4GB of RAM installed, then there's no need or advantage for a Mac to boot up in 64-bit mode.

ARYA  just an idea...

perhaps you could integrate this software (or the informations provided by this software) to the system preferences?
