I have it on good authority that Apple has secretly bought out Microsloth and is using Windows as a game engine. You navigate your way around and see if you can escape the Darkside. On a serious side I remember reading that the Sony Playstation was to have something like a G5 quad chip Now that would be good in my G5 which ends up being a G20. It is not the speed of the chip but how it works - that has been our cry. Imagine a quad G5 2.5 with a front-side bus of 2.5ghz. and whatever happened to the caterpillar drives the size of a postage stamp?

Out of interest, will they make more new XBoxes than Macs? Also are they using the new PowerpC chips in cars etc? (I guess heat isn't as important in a gaming machine as a Powerbook). In other words what is the volume of Intel PC processors vs others combined?
