Hello "M" iWork '09 will work just fine in its entirety. iLife '09 is a bit of a different story. Here's what will work: iTunes (of course), iPhoto, iWeb, Garage Band, to a certain degree (the real-time learning lessons are Intel-only), and iDVD. iMovie will NOT work, as it requires a G5/2.0GHz CPU or better (including Intel). I was able to get iMovie '08 to run on a 1.8GHz DP G5 (having the same sys requirements as '09), but have not tried '09 on the same machine. Besides, when you run the iLife '09 installer, it will tell you that it will not install iMovie, as your MDD would not meet these system particulars. Several folks I know have preferred sticking with iMovie HD (from iLife '06) as the preferred iMovie choice, and it will run just fine with the rest of iLife '09. If you go that route, install the '06 components first, then do a "blanket" install of '09 (the iDVD templates will be updated that way, instead of being duplicated. Apparently iMovie 06 had some nice effect accoutrements that were yanked with iMovie 08 (I never tried '06, but I heard a lot of web chatter where many were complaining about the loss of these tools).
