okay... so i was about to buy an imac today, telling myself they probably won't update the imac but i should wait just in case. So that was a smart move i guess. I'm just wondering, i haven't been on top of this whole intel, rosetta thing.... I'm just wondering about all the old school game demos that i've got, like Alien vs Predator, Tony Hawk 2, and the full version of Quake 3. Do you guys think those types of things will work through rosetta? Or does rosetta only work for apps that were made with the intel switch in mind? What about something like Matlab 7 which i suppose is a much more important thing for me to be asking about, rather than a bunch of 5 year old games.
I just think of how in the not too distant future, requirements for new games will surpass this imacs abilities. That always happens, but at least usually, with a computer you can go back to earlier games that'll all run no problem. But if this intel processor won't let it run stuff like UT 2004, or THPS 3 or 4, or even older things like that, i wonder if i should just get a G5 imac when the prices go down.
