As to the software issues, what if I got an Intel Mac Pro of some flavor and just stayed in 10.5 with it, in case there might be problems with some of my old software in Snow Leopard? I could work my way up to 10.6 gradually.
10.6 is a no-brainer update for Intel-based Macs; and the performance improvement is probably worth it for you, even with the added cost of updating Adobe (the Apple apps will run no problem)
Being a technology ignoramus, I don't know one type of Intel Mac Pro from another; Bruce up above mentions a "second generation" of them, and I don't know from this Core Duo/Core 2 duo 32/64 bit processor stuff.
This was a discussion of iMacs, mot Mac Pros. Mac Pros have has Intel Xeon CPU's, not Core CPU's. Considerably different critters, performance-wise.
