I understand things are different on Windows because you need all that extra RAM for unknown tasks that are running in the background.
Wow - 32GB of RAM and not a DAW to use it on - pretty sad for a computer which is so expensive. Apple have no intention of giving you 64 bit.
If by Apple, you mean 'Logic', then, uh, sure, a huge generalization, but somewhat excusable. Otherwise, your sources are way off.
Apple make Logic, if you have a projected date for Logic 64 bit then go ahead and post. Its a fact that 64 bit on the PC for DAW is coming along, vsti are being ported, on the Mac - nothing happening on 64 bit for DAW.
*nothing*???..??

...this is simply false. If you won't educate yourself on the subject, I won't waste my time trying to.

Nice pic of yourself there, you still havnt posted any support of your claim that theres 64 bit DAW stuff going on Snow Leopard. Im well aware of the forums members, if you look - youll see the OP has set the scene in asking why Apples standards (AU) are ignored. Good luck with Eignenmode - is it 64 bit OSX?

It supported 64 bit from day one. It is not the only 64 bit capable app on OS X (even you want to limit the scope to Audio apps). That unfortunately disproves:

I booted into my OSX 10.6 on the PC -Eigenmode dosnt seem to do much. just FYI. I dont feel that one app that dosnt work proves me wrong.

Wow, for someone who goes out of their way to troll Mac threads you actually paid for an Apple product?

I dont like the rip off hardware, I feel that I can comment on OSX in actually having it. Its just an OS. If Mac owners wernt so smug, these situations woudlnt happen

I like the quality hardware Apple chooses. I feel like I can comment on Microsoft and Windows since I've actually used it longer than OS X and Apple products.

Correction - it wouldnt load MP3s. It worked with wav. Nice audio editor. Activity monitor does show this as 64 bit. I still feel justified in saying that one 64 bit DAW editor app dosnt change the lack of 64 bit DAW support on SL.

No-one needs a serious workstation for audio, it is a trivial matter for any modern computer. I need a serious workstation for doing visual effects for film, with multiple layers of image sequences at resolutions of 2k and above, with full float bit-depths [32bits per pixel]. CPU is hardly the bottleneck with this kind of data, drive-speeds and graphics are what count. That said, my laptop can take a quad-core CPU, unlike any Mac laptop. Also unlike any Mac laptop, it has eSATA [for serious drive throughput], serious workstation-class graphics [512Mb QuadroFX], with DisplayPort for use with 10-bit monitors, and both ExpressCard and CardBus slots to cover every PCMCIA card out there. The best Apple can do is put gaming graphics in a machine that can't play games and charge you a premium for the privilege.

I imagine that's because PC users don't need studios any more, they can do it all at home, so the studios rely on stupid Mac people to eek out a living. I bet if you go into the office though, you'll find them using PCs for everything non customer-facing.

aaaah, I can't agree more. Things are changing though, and mac is earning new market quotas. Jobs is committing a new miracle. But I'm not sure it will save the company in the long term. Imho that company relies too much on a single man. Who IS the company (we have so maaaaany proofs). But this is a different topic.

Turning a not-quite-workstation manufacturer into a handheld-games-toy manufacturer?

Why don't more developers create AUs as well as VSTs?
