[QUOTE="nukemm, post: 292563, member: 23903"] Right now there is really no point in purchasing a G5, if you're looking to use it with apps that will be released in the future. It's not in the forecast for Apple to switch back to the PowerPC architecture, which would make any PowerPC a dying platform. It won't be long before the majority of apps put out for the Mac will be coded for Intel processors only, not just Universal Binary, which allows them to be run natively on both PowerPC and Intel machines. I'd rather deal with a little bit of Rosetta now than have to deal with the incompatibility of new software later. [/QUOTE]
