Time and most likely you will need to purchase another copy of OSX

No.
However, [Apple vice president Phil] Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac."

From that, can I assume that Intel will be making special chip sets for Apple, or Apple will continue to include the their ROM chip in each system.

Yeah like I mentioned in another thread I am 95% certain that they will be using Intel's processor while using a modified/proprietory motherboard by Apple. You will only be able to run OS X on Apple's boxes. Im very tempted to buy stock in about a year when they start releasing Mactel boxes.. Im sure stock prices will go down quite a bit until then, but then shoot back up around that time.
