1 - I doubt it makes much difference, but that's gut feeling.
2 - to update bootcamp, boot into windows and bung in your snow leopard disc.

Ta Von, I will probably install it to another drive and have a play around with it, then decide what I want to do on my main drive

I've just had 64bit safari running and using Flash, though that is only on a 32bit kernel.
Commissario
I don't really see any point in forcing it. Not all my apps are 64 bit compatible so it'd be more trouble than it's worth.
True but I just want to at least be able too, this is what they waffle on about yet we're all still in 32 bit mode with 64 extensions?
I can't even get 6 + 4 to work on my machine, just continues regardless into 32.

I don't see the point in running 64bt kernel. Are there any actual real world performance differences to be gained from running it?
Soldato
No. 64-bit apps still run as 64-bit apps and can access 64-bit amounts of RAM even on the 32-bit kernel.
It's a non-problem. Since when has a kernel ever needed more than 4GB RAM for internal use?
Just installed my copy onto my 2007 MacBook 2.2GHz dual core/4GB RAM.
It does seem slightly faster, although that might just be down to the reformat. I've found it's a lot quicker to shut down although slightly longer to resume from sleep.
Not gonna complain at £25 though.

My Trash is taking an AGE to empty since the upgrade. Any ideas?
Soldato
Go to 'Finder' then 'Preferences' then 'Advanced'. Is 'Empty trash securely' checked ?

Glad to help
I did an install over 10.5.8, and it works perfectly
Only issue so far is that it lost the license key for Smart Scroll (which I had to update anyway).
It kept the license info for Path Finder, The Hit List, Pixelmator, Espresso, Sous Chef, VMware Fusion, XSlimmer, CSSEdit
Also, updating the Bootcamp drivers in Vista fixed an annoying bug where it did not save the right click for trackpad preference option

Preview's still utter tosh, though. For the life of me I cannot understand why you cannot open a picture and then click 'Previous' and 'Next' to go back/forward in that folder. I have hundreds of pictures in a folder and I want to use Preview to open them, but why do I have to select them all in order to do it ?

Dont know if there is a reason your specifically using preview for this, but, personally i do this task by using "Quick Look" which ive got mapped as SapceBar on my keyboard.
