What does System Software Overview show for you? I suppose that you see

64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No

This was discussed here and on sage-devel a little while ago, as it is 
indeed confusing: the processor is 64-bit, but the kernel is 32 bit. While 
some(?) 64-bit executables can be still run, it is still a 32-bit kernel...

 PS. Sorry, John, it could be that googlegroups are not as capable of 
changing the subject as we wish :(



As far as I know, the only way to get a 64-bit kernel for Core 2 Duo is to 
upgrade to OSX 10.7.
