payn noted that in this situation dell can just push for the pentiums... it's funny how AMD and Apple ran into the same production problems, yet have the better chips. i hope that both see that they ARE in demand, and that people recognize their alternatives (faster, cooler chips).
although apple has a bigger problem relying on motorola. what if they ditch motorola and work with a better chip company that can deliver fast, cool processors and, OH - wait a second - there's an idea!
What I'm not understanding is how great is it really that Darwin is available for Intel? If that's just the BSD portion of the new Mac OS, why bother running that on a PC when you can just install Linux or FreeBSD?
