Is that spam?

Anyway, because I have a whole suite of programs running on X86 Architecture which I don't want to port.

Also what extra cost? How much does a Mac box cost to repair/upgrade compared to a beige X86

No competition if its coming out of your own pocket.

I'm happy to buy AMD, thanks anyway.

Regardless, any experiences anyone?
