Is it worth it to upgrade to Mountain Lion, or even Lion?

[QUOTE="TrevWonders, post: 1429414, member: 257377"] Well there are also programs in the Mac App Store that require at least Lion to run. Like iMovie 11', I do a good bit of video editing, and I don't have $300 for Final Cut, so I use iMovie, I used to edit on my Apple iBook G4 which had iMovie HD 4 or 6? (I can't remember which) But this MacBook has iMovie 09 and I HATE it! It makes editing very difficult! It took me 45 minutes just to figure out how to add a title! (because I was trying to add it to the video clip on the bottom because thats where the timeline used to be, when I really needed to add the clip to the top section, and put the title on that clip) and I hate that the timeline is gone. I was going to purchase iMovie 11 in the Mac App Store but it told me i need 10.7 Lion to run it. So I started looking into Lion and saw all the issues with PowerPC Apps and BootCamp and am now hesitating on if I should or not. Mountain Lion came out either today or yesterday, and I was hoping maybe it would allow me to use my PowerPC apps and stuff. But all the negative reviews on it are complaining about not having AirPlay. So I didn't know if PowerPC Apps could be used again or if they still couldn't so I figured I'd be best to come here. I guess I could deal with the crappy iMovie 09, it still works good, I just have to learn to how to use it all over again. But I have no clue if my MacBook is 64-bit or not, how can I check? [/QUOTE]
