It's simple. I donot have 10.6.3 on the machine itself. I have it installed as a Virtual system inside an emulation program. You see, the 'flaw" you considered wasn't actually a flaw. The reason why it says Mac OS X 10.6.3 and powerPC G4 @400mhz in the same window, is because i took the system inf

I simply added the system specs from the HOST machine instead of the guest. if you want a short video showing you the guest machine specs, it reports that it's an Intel Core Duo @1.83Ghz with 2GB of RAM.

The reason why a PPC and an intel can both boot from 10.4 and 10.5 is because they have both the intel and the PPC code. Since they have both processor architecture codes, it won't care if it's a PPC or intel. It will only care if it has a bootup volume. I have an Internal 2.5" 320GB SATA HDD hook
