Why should apple give up their architechture? The real bottleneck on x86 systems are the chipsets, not the actual P4 (which is a RISC/CISC hybrid). The G5 is supposed to be way superior. But IBM can't deliver. There are heat problems and they can't go over 3ghz. So it's a good choice, since IBM has now more "important" customers as sony (ps3), microsoft (xbox 360) and nintendo (revolution).
The real fun will be 2005, when there is MacOSX 10.5 vs. Windows Longhorn.

I THINK YOU MEANT 2006.

I WAS DISGUSTED AT THE THOUGHT OF HAVING AN intel CHIP IN AN APPLE COMPUTER, BUT STEVE JOBS HAS SECRETLY BEEN TESTING THIS OUT FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I TRUST THE GUY. IF HE SAYS IT WILL MAKE FOR AN EVEN BETTER MAC THEN I'M GAME.
