The_Observer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have currenty 2Gigs DDR2 memory installed. I wish to know if 32bit Snow Leopard can use 4Gigs DDR2 memory or does it do the same thing as Windows 32Bit, and only use 3.25gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo0o Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 does snow leopard have a 32 bit version? ot: if it does, how do i check whether mine is x86 or x 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Observer Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 oh my understanding of it was by default it boots into 32bit mode, but if you hold the 6&4 key down on boot up it would boot into 64bit mode? sorry i dont know im very new to Snow Leopard or anything to do with apple.
