Hi guys,

I know I've asked this before in the already huge SL install tutorial thread made by SaCleoCheater, but I am 50% away from SL GM and hungry to give it a go, and learn with the process, and help others myself! Please help me get some issues out of the way that I am not grasping...

In WinVista/7... you either go 32 or 64 install and drivers, 32 does not run 64 mode, 64 can run 32 apps if they are properly optimized, with, theoretically, no performance decrease but not harnessing full 64bit power... Cool, dandy!

In SL, you have 32 and 64bit kext, and you can boot in 32 or 64bit mode. Got it. (EDIT: wrong assumption. read below. 64bit kexts are hybrid and can run booting SL 32bit mode)

Questions

1 - if I boot 64bit, will I be able to run 32bit Leo apps (I know some dont... in general?) (EDIT: YES)

2 - Where the heck do you guys find your 64bit kexts? I do need both 32 and 64 right, to have a proper system? (EDIT: No - if you get full 64bit system, it will run 32bit kernel also. If you dont find kext in 64bit, say, for wireless, you have to boot in SL 32bit kernel to access internet)

3 - Is Chameleon 2 RC 2 worth it? Using RC 1 now... Anyone try it? I cant, because my Leo install is 100% based on Chameleon and boot.plist strings for video

4 - I still dont get it if patching DSDT is dangerous or not. I have one already working for Leo.. can I use that for SL?

Please, could we make this a nice noobish-to-64bit-SL walkthrough thread ?

Thanks in advance...
