AFAIK, everything will still run with a G5 (being it still PPC). With Intel Macs (and using up to OSX 10.6), they should still run under Rosetta (kind of PPC emulator), but that COULD mean they'd be slower (and/or, with music application, there could be issue with hardware drivers). I just got a G5 2.7 DP and, coming from a G4 DA 1.4 GHz, I love the increased speed. :-) Adobe CS3 apps aren't sluggish anymore. The only big issue in going from a G4 to G5 is, you cannot boot into OS9 anymore. -- 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.
