Thanks for the info! Bummer! I don't ever see myself going back to
32-bit environments unless I will start working on embedded systems
which seems unlikely at this point.
There is, of course, no particular need to use the 64-bit kernel if
all you want to do is run 64-bit userspace software. My old MacBook
Pro doesn't support the 64-bit kernel, but it runs 64-bit apps just
fine.
Does that mean that individual apps will be able to access the full
8GiB of RAM that I have installed and that the OS itself can make good
use of it, too?
yes and yes
Actually, think about it, I am not 100% sure of that first yes. A single
process under the 32 bit kernel might still be limited to say 4G ram.
Not sure.
I am sure of the second yes though.
