Ready to make the move to Intel
After ten years of faithful service, it's time to retire my FrankenMac (G3 chassis, G4 proccessor, OSX and PC emulator software). Will I be able to run my PPC apps on the Intel OSX Mac classic?

:hi:

1. Not sure, but I think you can do think by installing Rosetta

2. How I understand it...
It's not the processor that matters (PPC vs Intel). If you have Leopard (10.5) or earlier, everything you need to run PPC apps is installed with the OS.

All new Macs are shipping with Snow Leopard. Apple is dropping support for everything PPC with SL.

Not to say that there isn't some way around it.
