Hello all.. Long time reader, first time poster..
I've searched but cant seem to find the info I'm looking for..
First of all, my all so powerful and worthy specs:
OS X Version 10.5.8
Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4
2MB L3 cache per processor
2 GB DDR SDRAM
(I know, its old )
Here is my question.. I bought this Mac from an old teacher of mine because of the software it has on it.. Final Cut Pro, Adobe CS3/CS4, etc.. BUT the thing runs slower than dirt and I want to reformat the whole thing.. wipe it clean.. start anew.. I really want to keep the applications and i read somewhere I can just drag them onto an external HD and them drag them back after the re-format.. Is this too good to be true? Will this keep all the CD Keys or will I need to re-register the software after the re-format?
Thank you guys so much in advance.
