I have been running PM on an Intel iMac (OS 10.4.6) for about a month. I am reluctant to say anything, especially after reading other people's issues, but PM has been quite stable. I do not leave it up and running, and this may be the difference. I have noticed greater memory usage with Rosetta applications over time, almost as if there was a memory leak. For example, right now, with only PowerMail running (along with the "usual" startup items), there are 84.2 MB of free memory (out of 1 GB). Seems a little sparse to me. Regarding the sound issue--after waking from sleep, the first noise in PM, whatever it should be, is silent. After that, the sounds are normal. Very strange. I would be curious to hear from other Intel users, but so far I would not hesitate to recommend a move in that direction as a PM user. --Ira
