	All G5's, and all the Intel chips except the first round. Those go by  
"Yonah" or "Core" (not "Core 2"). So you have to worry about Mac  
mini's, iMacs, MacBooks, and MacBook Pro. I believe that the MacPro's  
were all 64bit.

	At this point everything (including the mini) has gone to Core 2, so  
the only thing that is left is the AppleTV (should that figure into  
your equations).

	However, I think this is a relatively moot point: you can't fit  
enough memory into the majority of those computer to make them good  
candidates for running applications that require 64bit address spaces  
anyways.
