SixtyFourSwitcher Description

Easily switch between 32-bit and 64-bit Kernel. Did you know that there's a quasi-hidden feature in Snow Leopard that will make your Macintosh run faster across the board at the expense of some backward compatibility? Or are you an Xserve or Mac OS X Server user that has to revert to the older kernel in order to use older software?SixtyFourSwitcher is a preference pane that makes it easy for users to switch between booting using the 32-bit version of the Mac OS X kernel and the corresponding 64-bit version. Why would anyone want to do this? Because the 64-bit kernel is considerably faster than the 32-bit kernel, with the downside being that it is not compatible with older kernel extensions, and software that relies on the old extensions. SixtyFourSwitcher is designed to be a two-way (Intel 64 and Intel 32) universal binary. What's New in This Release: · Fixed a conflict between SixtyFourSwitcher and some other kernel architecture switchers. · Since SixtyFourSwitcher works by writing to your Mac's NVRAM rather than modifying the com.apple.Boot property list file, the settings set by other switchers would always override SixtyFourSwitcher. · Now SixtyFourSwitcher will clear the kernel architecture setting out of the property list if it is set.
