Sure, Apple has no in-house chip "foundry", but it uses a number of suppliers, all of which supply those chips only to Apple. Exception: when Apple specifically licenses another company, such as Reply, then Apple will supply that licensee with the necessary chips, usually just the Apple ROM chips. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
