Hey Guys!

I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of apps that are Intel-only.
Make a note of the version of the app if known and add [partially] if only some specific features are not PowerPC compatible.

I'll leave games out of this for now - that's a different story.

Let's get the ball rolling:

Adobe Soundbooth
Adobe Premiere
Adobe Encore
Boxee
Garageband '09 [Partially: Learn to play feature intel-only]
OS X 10.6 – Snow Leopard
Parallels Desktop
VMWare Fusion

VirtualBox is one of my personal favorites. Much like VMWare and Parallels it runs basically any OS (except for Mac). The difference is that it is free and extremely simple to use. Right now I am using it for Linux and Windows so I can use Linux for C++ and Windows for whenever I'm bored and want to be reminded why I switched to Mac.

Most if not all modern games are Intel only.

Adobe CS4 -- actually does run on non-intel macs, but in emulator mode, so it's ridiculously slow.

Google Chrome

Meaning that stuff will only run on the Macs that use Intel CPUs -- basically, the same chips that high-spec PCs run. It won't run on the prior generation Macs that use PowerPC chips (such as G3, G4, G5, etc.), manufactured by Motorola and others.

So...if you bought a Mac brand-new since, I believe, 2006, you have a Mac with an Intel processor.

HandBrake is a nice program for moving your DVDs to iPod touch and iphone format.
