How can tell if I can run 64-bit apps?

Hi, folks;

I'm running YD 5.1 on a Mac G4 dual proc 450 Mz PPC machine and am trying to install Qt. However, I'm not sure whether I should use the 32 or 64 bit packge. Can anyone help? The commands I found online seem to be helpful for figuring this out on a PC rather than a Mac...

The PowerPC G4 processor is 32 bit only. See here:
