I feel like I am repeating myself, but for the sake of clarification, I will say this here: Intel, like Microsoft uses it's size to bully OEMs. With Apple moving to Intel chips, it would be great to see OS X compete with Windows, but Apple doesn't want to do that, they just want to ''lock'' OS X to the Apple machines, with Intel offering a ''security'' feature in its new chips that would make OS X run only on Apple branded PCs.
Of course AMD chips being compatible with most hardware/software that Intel chips work with, it could be that there may be some Apple clones with AMD chips. And some ''experts'' are predicting that Apple/Intel products could probably boot up into Windows as well as Apple's proprietary (and superior) OS X.
AMD Opterons are beginning to show up in many servers and high-end workstations now. 2-way and 4-way boards are being manufactured to accommodate them. And Windows Beta 64-bit is being tested on both Amd and Intel platforms with varying degrees of success. Some are saying that AMD/WIndpws 64 is fater and more stable than the same OS on the new 64-bit Intel platform. Does that mean we'll see more AMD machines? I don't think so. Intel will pressure their OEM customers to stay the course, beliveing that Intel will devliver the best bang for the buck. Does that answer your question?

P.S. Hewlett-Packard has a very large fab plant just around the corner and down the street from me!
AMD makes excellent processors. I wonder why AMD it doesn't manufacture its own motherboards like Intel. Can someone explain please?
