    Changing from a PowerPC to an Intel processor

    Posted by Benjamin Jones on April 6, 2010 at 11:07 pm

    Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade software requires an Intel processor.

    I have a PowerMac G5 with a PowerPC processor, and it refuses the upgrade.

    Is this a fairly easy hardware replacement I can do on my own, or should I just replace the computer with a new MAC?

    Thanks.

    Ben

    You have to buy a newer Mac. No other way around that.
