They won't be running PPC. The devlopment systems Apple is shipping out soon have P4's and Apple's been doing in-house x86 buils of the full OSX since day 1. There's no reason they're going to use some chip other than the P4 or one substantially like it. If they were, all this other work and shipping development systems with a P4 would be wasted. Some of those software companies are definately going to be optimizing code for the P4. It'd be rather dumb for Apple to then drop theif first production Macs with Intel CPUs on the scene with IA64 chips or anything so different from the P4. It will be total Fandemonium!
