Maybe wrong forum (please let me know), but.. why does SETI@home (and BOINC itself, for that matter) run 32-bit on my Mac? I've got Snow Leopard and a 64-bit CPU and other stuff is running 64-bit. AND I seem to recall that a version of SETI@home I used to use *did* run 64-bit. This would've been back when I was using Leopard. Odd! Was there temporarily a 64 version a couple years ago or something?

I know that the Manager is 64-bit, but there is no 64-bit apps yet.

Best available would be the optimized apps for OS X.
