As I stated earlier, there IS a Silverlight installer for PPC Macs. The Intel version is also applicable to AMD as both are Intel_64/i386, although Silverlight actually will only run in 32-bit mode. You have to relaunch the browser in 32-bit mode, as Snow Leopard defaults the applications to 64-bit mode, even if the Snow Leopard kernel was booted in 32-bit mode (arch=i386). > Also, the amount of work involved to make a G4 compatible with PC > parts will take more time > than what it's worth vs. getting a mid tower PC case that will support > ATX or Micro ATX mobos and standard power supplies that will fit in > these cases. Obviously, it was more time than I was willing to expend. Simply installing the Silverlight product on my G4 Mac Mini was not enough, although the installer DID NOT OBJECT. However, once Netflix was running on the browser, it told me that the PPC platform was not supported, not withstanding the fact that Silverlight installed on this platform without objection. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
