MacMatt's Profile

You are so wrong. Today's software (my $30,000 worth) is all compiled for PowerPC. This will have to RUN UNDER EMULATION on some MacIntel until the Intel versions come up. For me, this is a no brainer, all of my software will urn 100%+ faster from my Dual 2 Gig G5, and new software will be slow to come. Besides, the Power Mac will be the LAST Mac to go Intel. This is JUST like the transition to PowerPC. The first Power Macs SUCKED (6100/60) and my shop was using a Quadra 840av running software at full speed until a year into the PowerPC product line when we got faster emulators, and the 604 based PCI Power Macs which were 10 times faster. Anyway, its about the next 24 months, not about the chip.. and for the next 24 months, this quad machine will run MY software much faster than any emulated MacTel. My 2 cents.
