Have you restarted again? It's just because everything is working fine on my system, which I guess is running 64 bit because I have 16GB RAM recognised. Every time I change almost anything, the system fails on the fist reboot, then boots fine and I run kextenabler just to be sure.

PS: Just to be sure, if 16GB RAM works fine in 32 bit mode, how do I tell which version of OSX I am running?
Cool, I'm looking forward to building a system like this tomorrow! I'm getting a i7 2600, and a GA-Z68-UD3H-B3 board!
If you go to the About This Mac, and then and go More Info, then click System Report then click Software (the main one with the triangle) you will see something like this
System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.2 (11C74)
Kernel Version: Darwin 11.2.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: Macpro
User Name: john doe (johndoe)
Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes
Time since boot: 8 minutes
and there would be the 64 bit thing
OR
open terminal and type uname -u and you get this:
erics-mac-pro:~ eric$ uname -a
Darwin erics-mac-pro 11.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug 9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1699.24.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
if it is in 32 bit mode I believe it will say i386 instead of x86_64
