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.

From what I've read, it won't make any difference in speed whether you're in 64 or 32, unless the app you're running actually is a 64bit app. It's my understanding that any 64bit app (of which there are precious few right now) will run in 64bit mode, even when you've booted into 32. None of Adobe's apps are 64bit for the Mac as yet, because of some yet-to-be resolved thing between Apple & Adobe (don't remember the specifics, but you can probably google it). Upgrade at your leisure; it works fine!
