[X4U] Apple's move to Intel 64 bit?

[James Jones]

This isn't surprising, for the moment, since the first Intel models  
will be replacing G4s, not G5s (and 64-bit Intel chips will be  
neither cheap, nor plentiful for at least another 12 to 18 months).  
The Apple roadmap keeps 64-bit class machines on PPC until 2007.
