This is incorrect, you should be running x86_64. i386 is 32-bit, and by running a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit system you pass up a great part of the advantage it has. I don't think Intel has made any 32-bit personal computers in quite some time, even the Atom is 64-bit now.

my question however is can i just swap the current SSD I have built and running with the stock lenovo HDD that comes with it that has 7 Proffesional preloaded?
I think you will have problems due to a Mac's different kind of BIOS expecting a different kind of partition table.
