SixtyFour is a handy tool that boosts your Mac performance by forcing 64-bit applications to open in 32-bit mode. The program is designed for computers that are short on RAM, as it significantly reduces your computer memory usage in order to make apps with high level of RAM consumption run better and faster.
The interface is plain simple and straightforward – it simply displays all the 64-bit apps installed on your computer for you to select the ones you want to run in 32-bit mode. You can use filters to organize the large list of identified programs into two separate lists. This way, you will have a clear view point on the apps that will open in their original 64-bit mode and the tools for which the running mode was decreased. A search box is also available, in case you want to see information on a particular program.
The utility can be easily managed by any user, no matter the computer proficiency he or she has. There are no complicated settings that require special computer knowledge. The only options available refer to launching the tool automatically or keeping it idle at system's startup, and the ability to limit the search for 64-bit apps by determining particular drives to be scanned.
SixtyFour is really helpful, as it optimizes your system’s performance by lowering the running bit mode of specific apps. You can use it with programs that usually take a lot of your computer’s resources and, as a consequence, make your system run slower. Personally, I believe that RAM memory alone is never enough, no matter how much you have installed on your computer. Therefore, I consider that a tool like SixtyFour is worth keeping.
