| Right Said Fred
I'm in tune with Fred. If it's simply an "Intel Inside" for Apple I'll (try to) keep an open mind. If it's just more x86 garbage then this two year-old PowerBook will have to last a long time. I understand about the frustration with speed, but since a 2.5GHz PPC still runs circles around a 3.5 Pentium, what's the problem? And the Pentium hasn't had more than a 10% increase in speed in the last year, has it? And the G5 is a stable, proven 64-bit chip. Name three people running 64-bit Intel.
My sinister side says that Jobs is just ticked off at IBM for not making the speed hurdle. If Apple had been able to come out with an XServer with a 4 or 5GHz G5, there wouldn't be an Intel server installed on the planet.
