The only PowerPC Macs that can use a 64-bit operating system are G5 iMacs and Power Macs. https://milbrown473.weebly.com/blog/what-is-snowflake-software. Anything before G5 can only use a 32-bit Linux. Starting with version 12.04 the 32-bit and 64-bit versions are part of the same package for Macs. The Power Mac systems ran a PowerPC G5 — optimized version of Photoshop 7.0.1 including optimized AltiVecCore, ACE, and BIB Carbon Libraries; the Dell Dimension ran Photoshop 7.0.1. “World’s fastest” based on SPEC CPU2000 benchmark results and leading professional application performance tests against 3GHz Pentium 4 — based Dell Dimension 8300 and dual 3.06GHz Xeon-based Dell Precision Workstation 650.
