Can you use a Intel app on PowerPC Mac?

Yes and no. You can run Windows software on a PowerPC Mac using software such as VirtualPC for Mac or Q. A powerful Mac is required to do this as emulating a completely different CPU with a completely different architecture is VERY CPU taxing. However, running an Intel app on a PowerPC Mac is impossible. The code inside of the program is written for the Intel chipset and not PowerPC. If you find a "Universal" porgam, that means that there are two sets of code in that program, PPC and Intel.
