If you have a G5 or G4, though, you can run Rosetta. You can install OS 9 and run old software. But wait, you say "PPC software." What software do you have in mind? For instance, lots of programs run on both PPC and on Intel machines, such as Office 2004. Are you talking about OS 9-only software?<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
