64-Bit OS X questionq
Several people on this board have been speaking lately about how great it would be if OS X's "Panther" rendition would be 64-bit to coincide with the 970's 64-bit architecture. However, in most of the topics that I have read, there has not been any evidence given as to why this would be such a great thing. What types of benefits would be gained through "porting" Mac OS X from its current 32-bit archtecture to a new 64-bit based archtecture? Thanks for your time.

There are some better experts on this matter that hang out in the Future Hardware forum ("moki" and "Programmer" come to mind) that know quite a bit about these things. You might should try searching and reading through some of the older PPC970 threads in there.
