[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1288514, member: 59143"] So long as you aren't running apps which won't run under Lion, then I'd say give it a shot. [LIST=1] [*]Launch System Profiler by selecting About This Mac from the Apple menu. [*]In the About This Mac window that opens, click the More Info button. [*]From the Contents list on the left-hand side of the window, scroll down to the Software section and select Applications. [*]System Profiler will create a list of the applications installed on your Mac. The process can take some time, so be prepared to wait a bit. Once it's complete, you will see a list of all of your applications. [*]Widen the System Profiler window until you can see the Kind column in the window. You can also just use the horizontal scroll bar, but I like to see as much of the list as I can. [*]Click the Kind list to sort your applications by kind. [*]Any application that has a Kind value of PowerPC or Classic won't run under OS X Lion. [/LIST] If any of those apps which won't run are very important to you, there's no rush to upgrade.
