    1 Of the MacPorts users who still run SnowLeopard, the ports tracker (imperfect as it is) shows the overwhelming majority use the 64bit version. I suspect virtually all of them use it to run some working-very-well legacy PPC software they don't want to give up like I do, not because of a machine hardware constraint. The rest are probably us, with our VMs, fixing things :).

    33The oldest Intel Mac I had that did not support 64 bit was a macmini 1,1, and I swapped the processor to a much faster 64bit core2 duo in 10 minutes, for $12, while upgrading the hard drive.
