As a REALTOR I love free stuff: free lunches, free drinks, free title company pens. You name it and if its free I will try it. Well, today I have a freebie for you. If you have a Mac with Snow Leopard and the right processor you can make your Mac run in 64bit mode. Why do you care?
Well I just told you ITS FREE...
Why 64bit computing is something you should try it:
- Apple makes it simple
- Its almost 10% faster
- Virtually no problems
- 64bit mode is safer
- ITS FREE!
So lets get our Geek on and light this 64bit candle ( or forcing your Mac into and out of 64bit mode ):
To use 64bit mode:
- Reboot your Mac
- When it starts booting; press and hold the '6' and '4' keys at the same time
- Release the keys once you see the Mac logo
To use 32bit mode:
- Reboot your Mac (on some Macs this is all it takes, it will auto revert to 32bit mode)
- When it starts booting; press and hold the '3' and '2' keys at the same time
- Release the keys once you see the Mac logo
You can confirm you Mac is in 64bit mode by doing this:
