Is there an official Apple-supplied list of which Macs (PPC and Intel) are
capable of running 64-bit applications? I need something to refer customers to
so they can verify whether their machine is 64-bit capable or not. Obviously I
could supply a tiny app to tell them, but it's a bit pointless and politically
incorrect to have to have a download for this.
So even better, is there a convenient GUI-based way for a user to check this? I
don't see anything in "About this Mac". Since there are no running 64-bit
processes by default, I can't tell them to check Activity Monitor. A standard
app that will always start in 64-bit mode so it can be checked from Application
Monitor? (These are ordinary users, no Developer Tools or command-line methods).
It's important for this information to be readily available --- it's hard to
push 64-bit apps if no one can tell if their machine can really run one or not.
Also: how can a customer easily choose to run the 32-bit version of a 32/64
universal app? This may prove occasionally necessary to accommodate missing
QTKit functionality.
Thanks.
