There is currently no CFM (PPC) kray plugin, but this situation will be reviewed after the next release.
By my reckoning that shouldn't be too much of an issue. I model animate and set up the scene in the CFM version then render in the UB version so I am used to running two builds of LW. Now that I think of it this is a first, Usually you run the CFM version due to plug-in support. Now it seems it's the other way around. Rather ironic, don't you think??
Bottom line ... so long as it rocks!!

Happy kraying
Oooh I am envious! I am running a dual 2.5 G5 with 7 gigs of ram as well as Leopard. It has been a great machine but it is starting to get a bit scruffy around the edges. I am waiting to hear the announcements at the Keynote this January. Hopefully there will be a release of the next generation of quad cores. Then I will make my move. It has been very difficult waiting though. I do have a dual core intel MacBook Pro which has impressed that hell out of me (never been much of a fan of Laptops). At work however, I have been assigned a Quad core and it is a beautiful machine.
Really looking forward to getting started producing some imagery. Too bad I have to wait till Christmas. Have to admit, it's like being a kid ... at Christmas time.
Cheers
