Need some information

[osxx86nl]

Hi there,

 

first of all; sorry for my englisch (i'm just a dutch farmer )

 

i've got a Acer WLMI 1522 with SSE2 support.

 

Osx 10.4.1 works great with normal use (office for mac, safari, iworks) but i cant run logic express. Installing wasn't a problem but when i try to start it it keeps crashing.

 

my question: if i would buy an intel p4 with sse3 support then i could run the program?

 

i don't know a thing about rosetta, i've been googling for a few days now for info about it but it doesn't make any sense te me...

 

(do i need to install a program or is rosetta always in the instalation or something like that?)

 

Thanks!!!!

I'll wait until Logic Express is available as Intel/X86 Binary.

Rosetta runs automatically every time a PPC Binary is open, but it is an emulation, so expect slower speed than a native version, and maybe some crashes.

But now it won't run at all, would it start (maybe slow and have some crashes) on a pc with sse3

From the Apple Site it says: "Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4 or faster".

 

Rosetta does not emulate G4 Altivec instructtions right now, there is a rumor of Rosetta with Altivec, but is just that, a rumor, so apps that need G4 does not run well with Rosetta.

 

As Logic Express is an Apple Application expect an Intel Binary in the future.
