Jobs said that "almost every computer we ship is 64 bit capable". Almost every? Which ones aren't? The mini?

    Yeap, Core Duo mac mini is only 32 bit. Same for the older MacBooks, iMacs and MacBook Pros with Core Duo and not Core 2 Duo.



    However, on the PowerPC side, any G5 tower or iMac is 64 bit.

    Other than the Mini, all are Core 2 Duo now, right? So that would be only the Mini that is not 64 bit capable, (of what is currently shipping).
