IMO, absolutely the latter; all of those apps should work on an Intel Mac as most are Universal. CS2 is the sticking point; it is not, so it'll run in emulation, and I think they deprecated CS2 for 10.6. Final Cut, which appears to be your main app, does run natively on Intel. The PPC is a dead end; I wouldn't waste my money on one at this point. I'd go hunting a used mac Pro or higher end iMac (definitely second gen Intel or better). You didn't mention your price range, but obviously, the more you can spend the more you can advance your platform. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
