Oh, wait. My bad. They don't run on x86. But the Xserve RAID system[1], a storage server, uses an Intel chip (the IOP 331). I found this from a CNET article[2]. [1] http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/ [2] http://netscape.com.com/Apple+has+Intel+inside--sort+of/2100-1042_3-5598783.html So the quote Tracy gave, that Apple "will be switching to Intel-compatible chips this very year" is not far from the truth. -todd "not-ppc != x86" walton -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
