Actually there are currently ia64 boards that are Open-Firmware, I
don't have one but I would imagine the development x86 Macs that
were released to developers are pretty mush so plain PC. They
probably boot similar to FreeBSD, in that they unmap the PC BIOS
and replace it with Forth

Wow, that really sums it up, doesn't it? I guess we're all orphans now.

Thinking about this some more, doesn't the newest Xbox use PowerPC chips? I
understand that the CPU in a game machine is secondary to the video driving
circuitry, but still, that means that the next-generation Microsoft Xbox

Apple's move to Intel designed chips caught me by surprise a much as anyone.
I was certain that Apple would use Intel to build PowerPC

No no.. The Xenon (the XBox processor) is a multicore chip. Each core is
not nearly as smart as the G5 (it looks dumber than a 601), but it can
run 6 threads. It is just another way to use chip real-estate - instead
of building a supersmart CPU they build 6 dumb ones and hope running six
threads
