10.6: How to boot into the 64-bit kernel
How does one find out whether the machine has booted into 64 bit? I tried looking at the system profiler but couldn't find anything. Nothing showed up during the boot (like when you do a safe boot).

Open Activity Monitor and look for a process called kernel_task. The "kind" column will be either intel or intel (64 bit).

Also, in System Profiler - just click on the word "Software" in the Contents column.

To find out your currently running kernel, you can open up Terminal.app and type in "uname -r" or "uname -a" without the quotes, if you are in 32-bit kernel, there will be something like i386 in the output. I haven't tried 64-bit mode, but it would likely say something like x86_64 or something similar instead.

Or you can just open the System Profiler and click on the Software Category. |
