I may just have to wait and see but one other issue is that I am running Leopard 10.5.8. So I will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to test, but that may mean $30 down the drain if 15 does not work with the hardware.
Can anyone confirm so that I can lay my doubts to rest?

Greg says that the Core2 Duo should work:

referencing this Apple article that says yours is 64 bit:

Note that this other article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770
doesn't even mention your late 2007 MacBook as being able to run the 64 bit kernel.
This user forum discussion is confusing - I did not realize you could run 64 bit apps on the 32 bit kernel, so it seems like you should be OK...

Karl,
Thanks for looking up on it. It does seem there is a slew of inconsistent/unclear information on the matter as you have seen. I may just have to be the guinea pig and try it, or talk the boss into buying some new hardware, which is not likely
Thanks again!

Is it still possible to download the 64 bit preview version to see if that works?

Barry,
Thanks, good idea. The link still seems to be active so I will see if I can get it running. I will post my results here.

The late 2007 MacBook Pros had the Intel Core 2 Duo, which is 64-bit compatible but the 64-Bit kernel is not supported according to Apple. I know the kernel is the core of the OS so I am doubtful it would run.
