My current machine is an Apple PowerMac Dual 2.0 G5 which I’ve had since February 2006. I’ve added an additional hard drive and bumped up the RAM (twice). It’s a perfectly fine machine. Does what I need it to. However, it’s not an Intel machine and can’t run Snow Leopard (10.6). And the ramifications of that are starting to show. Here’s a current list of apps I’ve been an interested in the last few months that require either an Intel processor and/or Mac OS 10.6:
- Acorn 2
- Aperture 3
- Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta
- MarsEdit 3 It may be time for a new MacBook Pro…
Update: And Google Chrome
