Hi everyone...
I´ve been checking a lot of posts talking about Mac Running on Intel, and so running Logic 7 in Intel, but I couldn´t find a thread about it...
Would anyone care to explain what is going on?
1.Is a MAC OS version being released for intel processors?
2.If yes, is this a specific processor, or any intel processor?
3.If yes, how much does it cost?
4.Is it ready and bug free?
5.Can u have both windows xp and that system installed?
Well...and many new questions will appear....
Thanks to those who take the time to answer and clarify this to me

I havn't followed the events too closely and there might be some more up to date info, but this is what I snapped up:
Jobs have clearly said they will make sure that OSX will not run on a standard PC.
Also the architecture in a Intel mac will be quite different in some aspects.
For example there will be no BIOS but some new alternative technology.
But hopefully there will be some hacks to get it working well although it will be a violation of the licensing terms of OSX from what it seems.

1. Allready have been released OSX 10.4.4
2. Specifically Core Duo (according to Apple)
3. Easiest thing would be to check for prices on Apple Store.
4. Only time will tell.
5. For now it seems that Windows XP doesn't install on the EFI bios. But rumours say Vista will support EFI and can be installed then.

Ok guys thanks a lot for that info
So basically, Intel is just now producing chips for apple computers...but those chips are intended for MAC OS only. So its got nothing to do with PC and MAC bonding together, its just the hardware manufacturer for some MAC processors is now produced by Intel...
Did I got that right?
Thanks a lot for clearing that to me |

almost,
the guess is that the motherboards are the different piece of the puzzle, and not the cpu.
