| Run Mac OS X Leopard in 64-bit Hello, I just installed 2x2GB sticks of RAM from my previous 2x512MB sticks. When I started my MAC, the System utility told me that I have 4GB of RAM but when I check my iStats Dashboard tool it says I only have 3 GB. Am I not reading something properly or is there a way to run Mac OS X Leopard in 64-bit mode, which will be able to recognize 4 GB of memory?  |

| The 1st Core 2 Duos could only recognize 3Gigs of RAM, but has been changed now to 4 Gigs.

| OS X Leopard already runs 64-bit from top to bottom. It can detect when it's running a 32-bit application and is able to run it, but the operating system runs in 64-bits already if I'm not mistaken. http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/
