It's not the 32-bit vs 64-bit that is the problem, it is developers

Point of fact Ronni - specifications for iWork '09 are 10.5.6 OR
10.4.11 if you're still running Tiger. iWork '09 is running quite
happily (albeit a little slowly) under Tiger on G4 computers (going
back to the old "table lamp" iMacs) across the network of one of my
clients.
Of course, it runs much better on the Intel/Leopard machines, but
that's only to be expected :-)
My "bad" there Peter ... sorry ;-(
Am I correct in my assumption below?
As far as I understand, 32 bit code will still execute on 10.6. It's
just that you'll get better performance with 10.6, regardless of
whether or not the application has been written to take advantage of
multiple cores.
Cheers,
