B blazerbro79 macrumors newbie Original poster Oct 16, 2009 4 0 Oct 16, 2009 #1 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.
