Software for Powermac G5

Do you want us to... name all of them?

What do you need to do on your computer?

Whatever kind of software you need.

Final Cut Studio 3 will run on a G5 with a little haxing
Toast Titanium 10 will work
Microsoft Office 2008
iWork 08
iWeb
AppleWorks 6
Macromedia Freehand MX
Final Cut Express

use either tenfourfox or stainless as a browser if you aren't already I can't recomend those enough. The most optimum version of microsoft office for the powermac g5 in my opinion is office 2004. It runs smooth on both my powermac g5 and powerbook g4.

Thank you for the list. Is there any software that the G5 can only run but my Macbook Pro can't? It's more like the other way around though.

Why not treat them as two different computers and enjoy each differently.

You won't be able to run AppleWorks or Macromedia Freehand MX as both are PowerPC only. A few other that won't run would be Mac The Ripper, VCD Builder (a software application for building video CD's) and some older games like Sim City 4, Red Faction, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, and Return to Castle Wolfinstein.
