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.
 
G5 is the "power pc chip" architecture, not an intel architecture. Snow Leopard will not install on the G5.
 
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.
 
yeah it was snow. and i thought i had a G5. im a newb to this. well i know what im doin tomorow lol. thanks for the help :)
