64bit snow is no problem in most case to simply change architecture and recompile source.the are some disadvantages with OSBundleLibraries some of this i replace value.
But you must have source and where can it get.It's good to some of hackintosh team use opensource.
I recompile many source kext to 64bit mode,but now i don't find hdaenabler source and gutu seems ignore me nothink anwer my questions.
seems no programmers interested in snow leopard.

I see it now, so its like XP/Vista, 64 bit system needs 64 bit drivers, I thought Apple did some kind of black magic...
I'm glad its not that hard to recompile some kexts for 64 bit, even though there doesnt seem to be any great benefit from running it in 64 instead of just 32 bits. I suppose we would all like to run SL in 64 bits at some point. Maybe you should publish your recompiled kexts, well I'm not running Snow ATM but maybe other people would benefit...
I wonder how many "unreplaceable" kexts without available source we have...
BTW hdaenabler says © by Kabyl in the plist, maybe you could ask him for the source, though I remember reading somewhere there were many (as many or 4 or 5) different versions of the same hdaenabler.
