Roseatt vs Universal

Question

Roseatt vs Universal

How can I tell if a binary will run under Rosetta vs Universal? Is there a Rosetta process I should be able to see in Activity Monitor?

I recently got my first Intel-based iMac and used the migration assistant to move over everything (yes, that was my first mistake) so I obviously had a number of PPC native stuff come over.

iMac Core 2 Duo 24", iBook G4, iMac FP 800mhz, iMac DV SE, iMac Bondi Blue, Mac OS X (10.4.7), Airport Extreme/Express

Two ways...

With Activity Monitor look on the right side for the "Kind" column. That will tell which process is what, as long as it is currently running.

For applications that are not, simply hold down the "Apple" key & press the "I" key with the applications icon selected. This will pop up the "Info" window.
