[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1423201, member: 24098"] Just to elaborate - prior to 2006, all Macs used the PowerPC processor. Versions of OS X up to 10.6 included an emulation layer called "Rosetta" that allowed older applications to run (Office 2004 is a good example). Since 10.7, Apple is no longer bundling Rosetta, so you may find that some of your old apps will not run if they are PPC-specific. Chances are you don't have many, but it's an important point nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
