    Wasn't the recent "Apple Graphics Update" that Apple pushed alongside Leopard 10.5.2 the drivers for 64-bit graphics drivers?

    No x64 drivers have been released, save for the Mac Pro.

    Hes talking about windows (xp/vista).

    Leopard/Tiger is a 64bit operating system. (if you have a 64bit cpu)

    No, its support for 64-bit Windows through Boot Camp is still not available except in the Mac Pros. Mac OS X Leopard is all 64-bit, yes.
