yes good point ben and well said.

im not sure why apple chose intel over amd, given that
sgi and sun both gave up their own lines in favour of
amd 64bit chips.

the best answer ive gotten is that intel are 'more professional'.

but in the 'more professional list' i would definately put
sun and sgi above apple.
