Limewire 5

Is limewire 5 specifically for the new mac 64 bit. Is there any advantage to use version 5 with a 32 bit mac?

It won't run on a 32 bit mac.

Needs to be intel machine & have Java 1.6. If you do not see Java 1.6 in Java preferences, then your computer is not compatible; Setting up Java for Leopard. Besides, LW 5 at this stage is not really the complete program LW 4 was; they have left out many tools from LW 4. Perhaps by end of year they will have re-introduced most of the missing tools.

How can a 10.4.1 user G$ get the old version ?
