Well it is a wild rumor so calm down ;-) Apple isn't abandoning the Power PC even if this rumor is true. The reasons given in the info I've read is. IBM and Motorola are moving way to slow on Power PC development. It is just now hitting 1gb mhz speeds. AMD(&Intel) is now over 2gb mhz cpu chips. Apple needs more speed and soon to make the power users happy. It is also said Intel and Microsoft is a long way from offering 64bit cpu's and software. Apple is pretty much there and being held up by the slow CPU's available.AMD is by many peoples standards making the best cpu's currently. I don't know any more about this nor do I know all that much about the pros and cons of different cpu's. Now Apple's OSX is unix and AMD makes cpu's that run Unix. So why would you rather run UNIX on PC box then OSX on a APPLE AMD box? Are you saying Unix on a PC box would be faster then OSX On the same box? Most people hate UNIX but the same people love OSX. The general public is very unlikely to ever use UNIX as we know it now... To read what I did go here. http://www.theinquirer.net/07040202.htm
