Can I download and use non-Universal Games like Bookworm and Word Whomp ?

Can I download and use non-Universal Games like Bookworm and Word Whomp on my Macbook Pro? If I can, will they interfere with the computer's functions in any way? What about non-Universal widgets? Thanks.

hi Chevaux - Welcome to apple discussions!
i dont know how resource-intensive those apps are but you can certainly run them. if they are not universal binary they'll operate through an emulation layer called Rosetta. there's a performance penalty there, but if the app is not intensive in the first place, and/or you've maxxed out the RAM, you might very well not notice the penalty at all...
i assume the same comments apply to non-UB widgets, but as i abhor Dashboard i don't use it at all.......
cheers
