pardon my FRENCH but why the @*$%&~ would apple use a CISC chip in an environment that is designed specifically around the advantages of RISC architecture, that seems ridiculous. Why go UNIX based and abandoned a CPU that will truly allow you to exponentially surpass current consumer grade computing standards. At that particular juncture, $%&* it!, why spend the money on apple at all when you can build a much faster PC based UNIX system.
