AMD and Apple Rumors Part II
MacBidouille has posted another AMD/Apple rumor. English Translation:

I have just received some rumors you will like.
Of course they're from an anonymous yet reliable source:
- Apple will start using 64 bit CPU during the following months
- The processor will probably be made by AMD rather than by IBM, the former having a much higher production capacity.
It should be noted that AMD's 64 bit proc for PCs is almost ready.
The processor has the advantage of being compatible with 32 bit busses.
So an x86 proc in a Mac or a PPC by AMD?

If apple uses AMD, I wonder what that will do to the upgrade market. If it uses the *same*, exact chip, we may be able to stay up to date.. .. I still hope they choose IBM..

... AMD has a bigger production capacity than IBM??? What is this person smoking? AMD has capacity problems just making Athlons. IBM makes POWER4s, G3s, all the GameCube chips, 604es, etc... IBM has like 50 times the capacity of AMD ( an exaggeration, but not by that much. AMD has ONE fab).
Also, the Hammer doesn't use a memory bus, so it can't possibly be compatible with 32 bit busses (which, btw, no one uses anymore. They all use 64 bit busses).
This rumor is complete bull****.

It's very doubtful that Apple will allow the Mac OS to operate on hardware from other vendors.
regardless of who manufactures the main CPU, it will of course be in an Apple-branded enclosure, on an Apple mobo, etc.
one could take your statement quite literally and refute it easily: currently, the MacOS runs on hardware from IBM, Moto, ATI, etc.

What's been the track record of MacBidouille? Are they SpyMac-level lousy, or Naked Mole Rat level trusted?
