Yes, possibly at least over time the price might drop. If we assume

I see no reason why using Intel would drop the price of Mac machines.
I also see not *direct* influence. But the hardware development in the
Intel world is much faster than in the IBM space and prices drop much
I don't agree, simply because Intel has a faster release cycle doesn't meant
that the actual hardware development is faster. We have lived with i586/i686
tiny improvements for about 10 years now. The core hardware is still
the same
just faster.
Exactly. You get more speed for less money. I would call that a kind of
development. And exactly this kind of development allows computer
manufacturers to sell the same computer for a smaller price without
losing money.
You are right about the architectural development, but that's not what I
was referring to (sorry for being unclear). Regarding prices this kind
of development usually does the opposite. :-)
Best regards,

Yeah that is right except for the fact that X-Box would carry PowerPC's now..
and they are much lower (200 dls) in price than the Macs. But of course
that is
a whole different ball game.
