[QUOTE="xstep, post: 166037, member: 11647"] Tiranis. I haven't heard that, but is isn't like I'm in any official MacIntel test loop. Apple has a lot of incentive to make the transition smooth for existing Apple users, so I won't be surprised if Altivec emulation ends up being included. At the same time, I won't be surprised if it is missing too because I've read that doing that would be particularly difficult because the Pentium lacks as many registers as the PPC and the their (SSE3?) version of that part of the CPU isn't as nice to work with either. Apple. The place of nice little miracles. [/QUOTE]
