Does NoMachine provide a Universal version of NX Client for Mac OS X?
NoMachine offers a compressed standard package (PKG) shipping a number of NX components as Universal Binaries, that's to say binaries that run natively on both PPC and Intel architecture.

In order to prevent slower performance on Intel-based Macintosh hardware, the NX Client package provides the following NX components natively compiled on both PPC and Intel architecture:

nxssh
nxesd
nxkill
nxservice
nxprint

Moving the nxclient programs (NX Client GUI, NX Connection Wizard and NX Session Administrator) to binaries that run natively on Intel architecture has been deferred to the time the port of the GUIs to QT 4 will be completed. More information can be found here:

Note that nxclient programs built for PPC should function reasonably well under the Rosetta translator on a Intel-based Macintosh hardware as they are less processor and resource intensive than the other NX components listed above.
