Is there any good reason to run a 64bit kernel over a 32 bit kernel other than bragging rights? I see many good reasons for 32bit such as Paragon NTFS works in 32 bit mode. Also several 3rd party pref panes are 32 bit only and system prefs has to restart every time I select one. My 3rd party wireless adapter has drivers only for 32 bit OSX. There are probably other reasons as well. Since real Macs are 32/64 hybrids is there really a good reason?
