MOTU PCI 424 Windows XP 64 bit drivers.

I'm wondering if Apple's switch to Intel processors will have the trickle
down affect of improving their PC software, making their MAC software worse,
or both . . . . or neither . . .

Neither. They're still planning on writing Power software, and just
running it through an emulator. Note that this means they can switch
back to Power chips whenever they decide the price/performance breaks
that way again.

In other words, it's about like a Windows PC maker switching from Intel
to AMD. More complicated due to the emulation layer, but it's still
basically just a matter of picking tradeoffs for one particular model;
the next model may do something else.
