 The general download is a universal binary and should work great on all macs using 10.3.9 or newer, no matter what processor it got. You should at all time avoid the Jaguar Build if possible.
 
+Technically the universal binary is a triple binary because it contains code for 3 CPUs and the CPUs in question are PPC (G3+G4), G5 and Intel. The Jaguar build is only optimised for PPC and other (newer) CPUs will not benefit so much from their advanced features. This is another reason to avoid the Jaguar build. It's generally slower on modern CPUs.

 Current list of missing features in the Jaguar build:
 -Can't save screenshots or savegames if certain chars are in the filename. This mainly applies to European chars and hits German hard as the month Mär (Mar) can't be saved
