Cant install leopard on G5

[blazerbro79]

I recently bought a older mac(emac G5), and today i bought leopard. I go to install it and it says my mac isnt a intell-mac. I was wondering if theres a way to tell if my mac is an "intell-mac" or am i just wasting my time with leopard.

Leopard should install fine on an INTEL Mac. However, did you buy Leopard or SNOW Leopard? There is a difference.

G5 is the "power pc chip" architecture, not an intel architecture. Snow Leopard will not install on the G5.

If you just bought Leopard it's likely it is snow leopard, which is intel-only.

eMac only has g4 processor, that's PPC, not intel
if you have iMac g5, that's PPC, not intel

everymac.com to look at your specs.
