Sorry for the dumb questions, but I just started learning about all of this a few days ago. Pretty interesting stuff.

So, if I understood well, by drag/dropping the kernel file I'm going to enable 64bit mode for applications, but the kernel will still be run at 32bit? As in, almost every process reporting as intel 64bit kind (in activity monitor) and kernel_task reporting as Intel (32bit) ?

I already managed this, and that's how my system has been running, and so far so good, everything seems to be working OK.

Is there a way to have the kernel_task also in 64bit ? If so, are there many advantages of also having the kernel in 64bit mode, compared to having only 64bit enabled for applications?

Thank you.
