5.0 and 64 bit client also for Mac?

#1 - Nov. 17, 2011, 10:24 p.m.

I saw on MMO-Champion today that on the 4.3 PTR launcher, there was a grayed out option to run the 32 bit client, inferring that 64 bit is coming.

It's safe to say that 64bit during a final patch could be a disaster, but for, say 4.4 when they're rolling out 5.0 pre-expac talents, pre-expac events and putting up major changes live for the final round of beta testing, it makes all the sense in the world.

Will we see a 64 bit client for the Mac and if so, what will be the likely requirements? I know I'm not in the ballpark as I have a Mac Pro 1,1, but if someone could let us know what would be the minimum required to run a 64 bit client, that would be very helpful.

Just wanting to point out some tidbits, here is some of the references that Blu is referring to (which is from S4d1k, but Padim and S4d1k are on the same team):
