So the tip is ... if you're planning on getting a new Intel Mac, and want to run applications under Rosetta, make sure you load the machine up with RAM -- even more so than normal, it seems.

10.4: A quick look at Rosetta memory requirements
Jan 30, '06 05:20:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
I did some simple testing of the memory needed to run applications under Rosetta versus being run as a native binary. Follow the previous link to my website for the full details but in short applications running under Rosetta can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3.8 times the memory of native/Universal Binary applications.

I have not done any formal benchmarks but Epson's Film Factory 3 seems to actually run faster emulated on the Intel iMac than native on my old PowerMac G4 dual 1.25 (after the initial launch delay).

I would say - you need 2.5Gb RAM for a Mac with OSX. I'm working yet with 1Gb and it is absolutely not enough.

Surely that depends on what you're doing? |
