Hey man...don\'t know if you know this or not but Apple has been keeping a i386 version of OSX in step with the PowerPC version since the very beginning, in secret of course. It was annouced August 2002 I think.

Here is the link.

They also just released the Darwin Kernel for Intel processors, no AMD support as of yet.

Also, to whomever posted about how OSX is tied to the PowerPC and could never be ported to i386....thats just not true. OSX is based on BSD and contains little if any legacy code.
