Well Im glad im on the right track Ill wait quietly till 10.6 arrives.

Also I keep hearing about a large update (10.5.6) coming soon. I figured that any updates to text would probably be written to support 64bit being this close to Snow Leopard. If that is the case would one benefit from such drivers or would you need a complete upgrade all the way around to see any performance differences. (I do understand that the difference should not be too noticeable and would depend heavily on the applications and in some situations a minor performance decrease might even be seen.)

I have installed kexts from Slashack's post on InsanelyMac where he rewrote AppleNforceATA to support 64bit in order to properly address 4GB of memory and I am very please with the results. Before installing I would see problems when I pushed past 3.5GB (3.2GB if I had any PCI cards installed.. Very strange I thought) . Now with the kext installed I have pushed past all but a hair less than 100MB of memory without a crash.
