No it isn't; Panther includes support for 64-bit memory addressing which allows each process to have a much bigger virtual memory slice than has been possible under any 32-bit OS, including previous versions of OS X (excepting 10.2.9, which also including 64-bit pointer support). You may be getting confused with Panther not supporting the 64-bit arithmetic and logic unit; this will come with time
Yep and that's how far it gets with 64-bit, memory addressing and math functions support which kinda stinks on 32-bit emulation of doing that
FWIW no, I don't work for Apple
And neither am I Linus. Don't get me wrong there are people like me, who think that Apple sucks. And that's from a long time Mac user
Yellow Dog...
Yes I use Yellow dog on two G3, that got retired (nobody wanted to buy them not even for 250$), and that was the only purpose I saw in them for not throwing them in garbage. But buying G5 for Yellow Dog??? It's way cheaper with Opteron, for same price I could squeeze almost two, and for information Linux is Linux no matter if it runs on G5.
