Up to you what you believe.

DG.... no....as I run Logic 8....so VI OSX64 would run standalone.....and get piped into Logic8 via sound-flower. SvK

FWIW, when 64bit VE is available, you won't need to run it as a standalone to access all your RAM.

The cruel joke is that the VSL Performance Tool doesn't work in Logic 8, which is the one with big memory access, in fact the only really big EXS library I know of is the original VSL. (Not that I'm blaming VSL for this, just pointing it out.)
But you can use multiple stand-alone VE3s on a Mac and access lots of RAM that way. It works very well.

the esx sampler of logic can address more than 4 GB RAM. So it's possible on os x !http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1041
So the VE is written in a different code than the kontakt engine ?Not with a cross-platform app such as VE. AFAIK the EXS player uses X-Code, which can't be used for cross-platform apps.

I can't answer that, because I haven't seen Kontakt 64bit. However as all other developers have been complaining that a vital bit of code needed for the OSX 64bit versions of their software wasn't released when Leopard was (and still may not have been, for all I know), it seems likely that Kontakt is not using this bit of code. See Herb's answer at the top of this thread.

Oops, i didn't saw the answer of Herb.
Good news about QT 4.5 :
Futureproof Qt users’ investments on the Mac® platform with added 64-bit support Continuing the Qt tradition of insulating developers from platform-specific changes, Qt 4.5 adds support for developing 64-bit applications on top of the new Mac Cocoa API, making it possible for Qt developers to deploy resource-intensive applications to the latest version of the Mac OS (10.5).

The one really good thing that Apple planned for is the fact the you don't need to worry about 32bit and 64bit drivers. This should make the transition much easier than it has been for Windows users.
