If you have a PowerPC-based Mac, you can't change it to an Intel one. The difference is the processor, that are from different architectures. PowerPC was discontinued in 2005, and now Macs only use Intel processor. Also, you can't change a PowerPC processor by an Intel processor because you will have to change the whole Mac
