Subject: Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" confirmed to be Intel-only

We speculated before the WWDC Keynote that Mac OS X 10.6 might be
Intel-only. Now it looks like (to many Mac user's chagrin) that
rumor might actually be true. MacNN got a copy of the system
requirements for Snow Leopard. One of the main changes: "An Intel
processor" required.
Some of the other system requirements include:
Intel processor
An internal, external, or shared DVD drive
At least 512 MB of RAM (more is recommended for development)
A built-in display or display connected to an Apple-supplied video
card supported by your computer
At least 9GB of disk space available, or 12GB of disk space if you
install the developer tools
Keep in mind that these system requirements refer to the Developer
Preview handed out at WWDC. Snow Leopard isn't schedule to ship for
a year, and things can change. That being said, it might be time for
you PowerPC Mac owners to start saving for a new Mac.
