Im running snow leopard 10.6.7 Successfully,which one do i choose?
i would like to boot in 64 bit since i have 12GB memory installed successfully too.
I'm just not sure which option is the best, I have this video card XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770, I'd appreciate any help
 
I tried both options and nothing worked for me.

this is some info I have, please help:

Terminal Command to check your EFI:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi

Is there any way someone can help me? I would really appreciate it


UPDATE: I have tried these to options that I found somewhere in this forum but still it hangs on apple logo and never boots up. are there any extra steps i am missing?
