    Why not pure Itanium-III chip (without x86-emulation-in-hw) + Pentium-M chip in one system?

    In my opinion, i think that Apple doesn't want to buy slow emulator VirtualPC, he wants to buy Intel chips (Pentium-M) to port many winapplications like M$ Office, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, ...
