Randy,
If you click on the link I sent out to initiate this thread you

Subject: [pov] Re: Apple Snow Leopard & photo apps performance
Interestingly I ran the update for Parallels prior to upgrading. I
had the latest version. When I upgraded the OS I did the little 64
trick on bootup. Parallels was the only app I notice that didn't
work. It worked fine when I switched back to the 32 bit mode. So I
dunno. I'll try again, but not now. I've got too many apps open to
reboot & too much to do... :P
Can anyone tell me why I would want to run the whole machine in
64bit mode when none of my apps are 64bit? Does it give the horsie
more legs?

Randy,
I just read where Parallels has already come out with a fix to run
on Snow Leopard.
Also, this little utility lets you decide which startup mode, 32-
bit vs. 64-bit to startup in.

I suspect it will take a few months for all of our applications to
be upgraded to take advantage of the 64-bit system architecture--
for photography and video it should be a noticeable improvement.

O that's right -- it's tough to keep up with all the twists & turns
anymore. Aperture will probably go that way on it's next
incarnation.
So LR would probably run just swell no matter how you booted.
