PPC-to-IntelPosted by wgazecki
Regarding your other data...
I had a few issues with migration assistant going from PPC to Intel so would advocate a fresh install of all apps & settings - it mostly went well and was no obvious issues with the pro-apps but a few other apps acted a bit funny so to be on the safe side I reformatted and started a fresh. ...should of booked 3 days out to do it though!

Well I gotta tell you I've never done a fresh install on my system to date.
The G5 still has files from my G3 and Mac OS 9, through G4 and every Mac OS X til Leopard. Its still working solidly. I also don't suffer from any of the issues that many people talk about. However migration to Intel I would have to agree with you. So most of the apps are installed. Just gotta get all the updates!

...which is why you have "a few apps that acted a bit funny" Some people have better luck with migration than others...but more end up with squirrely issues than not. Leopard flat out rocks. Go for it. When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.
lol yeah go on rub it in... it was worth the test to see if the migration worked.
Overall it did - it was actually a new Game I bought - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and iStat Menu that failed to work or work correctly respectively after the migration. FCS and all the Adobe apps worked without any issue. Leopard is a great OS - I've got Vista on a separate 1TB HDD on my MacPro and I have to feel sorry for PC users whilst its prettier than MS Windows 98 its not even as good as Panther...
