Kelly McNeill writes "Is the rumor credible? A couple years ago, I would have dismissed it out of hand. The G3 easily outperformed the Alpha back then. But Motorola still seems stuck at 500 MHz -- unless you believe their hooey about actually being able to ship a 1 GHz CPU before Microsoft completes Windows 2003 or Intel breaks the 3 GHz mark." Click on the link to read about rumors of OS X on the Alpha. I don't know how credible it is, but some folks might be interested.

    credible or not...

    Apple's future is not based on a specific hardware. There are rumors of using Transmeta chips, too. So it looks like the whole reason behind OS X is its portability. I think it's actually quite ingenius. You've gotta wonder if M$ will follow suit.

      Ive got a 500MHZ Powerbook and MacOSX beta is almost unacceptably slow. I'm not sure that I like it... and I really want to.
