What else can I help you with?
What is a PowerPC Mac?
Hi, PowerPC mac is a mac computer that has a powerPC processor. Note PowerPC = Power Performance Computing(Not Personal Computer!)
Which version of Mac OS X is the first to support only Intel processors and not PowerPC processors?
MacOS 10.0
I have a PowerPC G4 with a 800 Mhz processor. What is the next upgrade from Mac OS X 10.3.9?
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" will run on a PowerPC G4/800MHz machine. It is the latest OS that Apple will support on that processor, however. At this writing (January 2010), Mac OS X 10.4.11 is the latest version of Tiger.
Do you need to turn on your firewall if you have a PowerPC Mac?
Yes.
How do you emulate PowerPC on an Intel Mac?
PowerPC Mac OS X apps are emulated transparently on Intel Macs. For "Classic" programs, you'll have to use an emulator like SheepShaver.
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.
Will Linux run on a Mac?
Yes in fact if you have an Intel mac you can download the 32 bit iso and run it. If you have a powerpc you can use Ubuntu if you go into the downloads for a release you will see a powerpc option.
Will a classic Mac OS game work on a Mac OS X computer?
Classic Mac OS games can be used in Mac OS X if the Mac is a PowerPC Mac, the game was written for PowerPC processors, and the version of Mac OS X is Tiger or older. They cannot be used on Intel Macs except via the use of a third-party emulator, such as SheepShaver.
What is the difference between Mac OS X PowerPC and Mac OS X Universal?
In reference to installation CDs or binaries, Universal refers to its ability to run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. PowerPC binaries can only be run on Intel Macs via emulation, which can be quite slow.
Can you play avp 2 on a mac?
Not Anymore. I recently downloaded AVP 2 for my mac however since I have a newer version mac, powerpc is no longer supported. If you have a mac that was made like 3 to 4 years ago, then you have a chance of still having powerpc running. Hope this helps :D
Can sims 3 run on powerpc G5 mac?
As Sims 3 requires a Mac with an Intel processor it will not run on a Mac with a G5 processor.
If you have Microsoft 2007 will it be compatible with Mac?
There are several applications on the Mac that can read Microsoft Office files. First, Microsoft has released Mac versions of Office: Office v.X was released in 2001 for the new Mac OS X platform. Office 2004 was released in 2004. Office 2008 was released in 2008. It was the first Office for Mac suite that was a universal binary, meaning it runs natively on both Intel and PowerPC based Macs - and used XML file formats. Microsoft announced on May 13, 2008, that Office 2008 sold faster than any previous version of Office for Mac. Apple's Pages can work with Word files. NeoOffice can work with Office files.
