(moderation:
With the new generation of GW Apps (S6LV1) we are dropping support for PowerPC Macs that run Mac OS 10.3 or a G3 CPU (without AltiVec / VelocityEngine). Building a GW application for Mac OS 10.3 has become a nightmare - if you want to try yourself, see our License page. If there is reasonable demand, I could build a G3 App (for Mac OS 10.4 & up), but I doubt that it will be useful - for current WUs they need to be running E@H exclusively 24/7 for about a week, and the validation rate was <70% for the previous non-AlitVec Apps. I strongly doubt that it's worth the effort.

G4 and G5 should get work as long as these run Mac OS 10.4 or later.
