Question: 

What version of Komodo will work with my Mac with an Intel processor?

Answer: 

The first version of Komodo to be built natively for Intel Macs was Komodo 3.5.3. Versions before this version were built specifically for PowerPC-based Macs. It may be possible to run the PowerPC version on the Intel Macs, taking advantage of the PowerPC emulation layer in OS X; however, this tends to be quite slow. Therefore, we recommend only using the Intel-specific builds of Komodo 3.5.3 or higher on an Intel Mac.

For each build of Komodo 3.5.3 and higher there are two files. One file specifies macosx-powerpc, and is of course the build for PowerPC-based Mac OS X systems. The other file specifies macosx-x86, and is the correct package to install on your Intel Mac.
