for years the mac platform has enjoyed easy to use and highly sophisticated desktop publishing tools, video editing, graphics and some applications which were not available for the pc.

now that they are blessed with Intel Inside, they will take over all existing pc markets!

and all the Amdroids will fall into what can only be described as a never ending spiraling black hole, while voices repeat every little stupid Amd post they have ever made on thg, over and over and over and over............................never ending!

All those software will become WindowsXP compatible too you know which means AMD can use them and ALL Mac users will switch to AMD due to faster performance. Muhahahaha

Glad you're back to your good'ol self.

Nice imagry, better fiction.

Ha' This is the end of apple as a hardware vendor. Now that they are actively supporting x86. It won't be long until the security measures are defeated and the Mac OS will run on all x86 hardware. Too bad I have no use for the Mac OS.

Don't forget that mac lovers are total art tools...
so they'll naturally drift towards the "leap ahead" intel logos, kinda like zombies.

Why does the leap ahead idea remind me of lemmings?

ROFLMAO!
Hey that's a great idea!

are we actually gonna start putting together custom macs? would it still be a mac? wtf...

As of today, people still build custom phasecooling G5 Towers on a commercial scale believe it or not. Steve Jobs tried very hard to close them down tho.

Funny how Apple didn't go with the P4 though, huh?

I wonder why...

Mac users think they are too cool. [/pun intended]

My guess: Only if we can get Apple mobos. They will have to be unique, using their own N/S bridge or an ID chip to keep their OS from working on anyone else's mobo. What makes a Mac a Mac is the software, not the box.

Mac users don't even know what they don't know. They tend to be the true computer noobies, but they draw nice pictures.

Theproblem is there are too many l337 x86 h4x0rz in this world and it won't be soon before we all start running MacOS X on AMD.

What! Switch from Windows. BSODs Forever!!!

LOL i was just playing that game a week ago. I was cleaning up and found the floppy disc w00t.

Apple will likely use a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on their motherboards which will be required for Mac OS X to install and boot. This should prevent people from just installing OS X on any computer. Quite a few people are in an uproar about the inclusion of the TPM, but I think thats more concern about possible Digital Rights Management features. Apple should be able to limit the use of their OS.

Other than the TPM, I believe the chipsets that Apple uses are standard ones namely the 945 series. The motherboards themselves were designed and likely produced by Intel according to the form factor and features that Apple requires.
