Trying to run Ubuntu 64-bit on my mac (OS 10.6, Intel Core Duo).

Seems like 64-bit guest operating systems weren't supported for Mac for a while, is this still the case?

We need more information in order to answer your question definitively, as a minimum we would need to know the model of your system and out of preference your processor model. As stated by shf301 below the Core Duo (e.g. ark.intel.com/…) is a 32-bit processor while a Core 2 Duo (e.g. ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35605) is a 64-bit capable processor. – Mokubai Mar 23 '11 at 16:22

An Intel Core Duo is not a 64 bit chip so it can't run a 64 bit system. It has nothing to do with running a Mac, it's your processor.
