Macintosh with Intel

Can I run Goldenseal on a Macintosh with an Intel chip?

Yes! You won't have any problems running Goldenseal on a Macintosh that has an Intel chip rather than a Power PC.

The Mac operating system includes a function called Rosetta which automatically converts the code between the two different processors.

We are working on an "Intel native" version of Goldenseal that will run a smidgen faster, but you probably won't even notice the speed hit caused by Rosetta. Goldenseal spends most of its time waiting for the hard drive, and is not affected much by processor speed.

NOTE-- One or two users have reported "not supported on this architecture" error messages, but they have occurred with older versions of Stuffit used to install our software, and not in Goldenseal itself.
