Hello all,

I’m considering purchasing a copy of Adobe’s new Creative Suite 4. However, certain applications (Photoshop, InDesign) list a G5 processor as a requirement. Others, such as Illustrator CS4 list a G4 as a minimum requirement.

I have a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz and a MacBook Pro. Ideally, I would like to use CS4 on both laptops. Other than the type of processor, the PowerBook meets all system requirements.

Do you know if the Adobe installer checks the system before giving the green light, or if there is a way to dupe the system installer into believing that the processor is a G5 (ala unsupported Leopard installation)?

Cheers, and thanks in advance

Max

Never mind, it installs fine. No tweaking needed.
