clone from non-intel to intel

My G5 non-intel processor logic board went bad the other day and I'm considering buying another G5. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use SuperDuper to clone my old system to a new intel based system?

No, you can't copy from a Power PC to an Intel directly (unless you're using Leopard)...

Yes, I have the latest OS of Leopard 10.5.6. Is there any know problems that I might run into? What about my software apps that require product activation, Adobe Photoshop, Flash, iTunes, etc. Unfortunately when my logic board died, I didn't deactivate any of my apps.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to use the built-in feature to do the copy. When you FIRST start your new Mac, it'll ask you if you want to "copy from another Mac".

Point that at your backup. It'll bring in your applications and data.

Your copy protected applications will likely not work and will have to be re-activated on the new computer.

You mean my copy protected applications won't work if I use the SuperDuper copy method or they won't work if I use the "built-in" feature when I first start up my new mac?

They're not likely to work for either, because you're on a different Mac - these applications are typically tied to the hardware.
