After getting my iBook G4 stolen this past semester, and just getting used to Mac and loving it, I have to start over again.
So I've decided to go "all-out" I suppose this time and am getting a MacBook Pro soon. 17 inch, 2.16GHz, 2GB, 120 GB, to last me all through college.
After some searching around the forums about questions on running Power-PC based applications on the now Intel based Macs, I saw that the non Universal Binary applications run a bit slower because of the Rosetta Pro application translating. Naturally, I guess that makes sense and all.
My question really is, as a whole, is this a really significant
issue, or and issue at all? How much slower do the applications run?
Not that I'm not willing to wait on Universal versions of third-party applications, I'm just wondering is it will be much of a headache or anything?
Either way I'm getting the machine, I'm just curious as to how much of a difference there is. So hopefully I didn't sound to unintelligible, and this is an easy question to get some input on. Thank You.

p.s. Call me a terrible forum searcher but I didn't really find the exact answer or question for what I'm looking for here. Although it would seem obvious that this is answered somewhere.
So if this was out there please forgive. Afterall I'm new. :headphone
