Software that works natively on osx86
All the apple software that comes with OSX intel 10.4.3 is native and/or unibin. This is a good start to get the most speed from your osx86 install. For example, iphoto and itunes versions that come with 10.4.3 (8f1111) are unibin/intel versions respectively. Even though the version number may be the same as the downloadable itunes and purchasable iphoto products, don't "upgrade" or replace your already installed versions with any other versions unless they say unibin or intel on them. Why? because you'll probably be replacing your native versions with ppc only versions and will suffer from slowdowns and other issues as a result.

actually iPhoto doesn't come bundled with 10.4.3. It did come with 10.4.1, however most users who have tried to install the 10.4.1 version in 10.4.3 have not been met with much success.
I stand corrected, you're quite correct about iphoto not coming with 10.4.3. HOWEVER, I ran 10.4.1 and upgraded to 10.4.3 (8f1111, then 8f1111a eventually) and found that iphoto6 from 10.4.1 runs perfectly now. So it may not work well when added as a standalone app under 10.4.3, however it does work very well on my system when the OS was upgraded to 10.4.3 8f1111.
Your mileage may vary...
