Interesting observation. However, if you look
at the Process Monitor utility and see what is
listed for "kernel_task", a 64 bit install under kind
will display "Intel (64 bit)". If it is only a 32 bit install
it will only display "Intel". This is the true indication
of what is running.
BTW, Mountain Lion is a 64 bit kernel now. This however
does not prevent running 32 bit apps.
