If it has a G5 or a Core 2 processor, then its 64 bit capable.

Then that means the 1st gen Air will have no problems executing Snow Leopard. Am I correct?

Correct. The first gen Air has a Core Duo 2, therefore is 64-bit capable.

gd, even the gurus forget the obvious. We aren't perfect. So informational questions are always in order. Even to remind you of the obvious.

Remember, to err is human, to really screw things up takes a computer.
