What I read on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) it is suppose to be for the Intel chips only. The G4 and G5 are left out in the “cold”. There are PowerPC drivers in Snow Leopard according to some in the know. . . and the G5 is fully 64 bit. . . so they may be dropping support for the G3 and G4. Time will tell.

Also, there will be people with dual core G5s still on AppleCare until August 2009. It would be a crappy move to no longer support hardware still under warrantee.

Time will tell.Didn't Leopard already drop the G3? Dropping support for the G4 and G5 at the same time would be unusual for Apple, but not unprecedented. The first release of OS X dropped support for the PPC601, 603 and 604 at the same time, IIRC.
