[Avid-L2] Re: What should we do with our dongles! will mac 32bit kernel run mc 6 at 64?

 

I'm pretty sure that you can't run 64-bit applications in a 32-bit operating system without VM software/emulation. I've been told that the way the OS and application handles addressing the memory is fundamentally different. You can emulate a 32-bit application to run in 64-bit mode while in a 64-bit OS, but you wouldn't be able to do it the other way around because there isn't a big enough pipeline to send information to the RAM... so I've been told.

But other posts suggest that you'd just have to update your dongle when you get MC6 and you'll be fine running in the 64-bit kernel.
