since now there are macs with the intel proccessors, will those be able to run Final Cut, or will the PowerPC proccessors be the only ones that can do it for right now. And another question will they still keep makin PowerPc's or will all macs b replaced with Intel's .payce.

All macs will be on the intel chips by the end of this year.

All software made for PPC's will run on the intel macs using the rosetta translation. Most companies will release intel binaries so that the programs will be optimized for intel processors
