Adobe's CS4 Should Give Apple Sales a Boost [View article]
Unfortunately the original commenter is correct (at least partially): Adobe CS4 willl be 64-bit for Windows but not Mac OS X, despite the fact that almost all Intel Macs have 64-bit cpus and Leopard is arguably a 64-bit OS. Adobe attributes this to Apple's switch from Carbon to Cocoa (Adobe was developing its apps in the former). This has been known for months now.
So, at the application level at least, you won't be able to access 4+ GB of memory in CS4. It's not clear if Adobe will release a 64-bit Mac OS version before CS5.
