I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. But, yes, a late 2009 iMac running Snow Leopard is a 64 bit operating system and will run programs (apps) in 64 bit mode. Apps like Safari and Mail automatically run in 64 bit mode. Other applications such as Logic, Apple's professional music recording software requires you to either right click, or control-click on the app name in Finder, click on "Get Info" and uncheck the "Open in 32 bit mode" option. If you have a specific question that this does not answer, please try asking again being more specific about the information you are seeking.
