As others have mentioned, they *all* need Rosetta; it's just that Snow Leopard's Rosetta is an optional install. I'd actually encourage Snow Leopard on Intel Macs (those that can still run it, thanks, Apple). It is noticeably faster than 10.5, it doesn't add any new disadvantages, and it has much better software compatibility -- for example, advance info states Firefox will stop supporting 10.5 around version 17, and Chrome will stop supporting 10.5 with version 22. Furthermore, Leopard only received a single token software update since 10.7 came out, and while Snow Leopard will be unsupported when 10.8 comes out, it still gets security updates. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Don't Be Evil. -- Paul Buchheit -------------------------------------------- -- 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.
