32bit or 64bit
Does anybody know it the Intel Mac will be 32bit or 64bit?
While I haven’t spent a lot of time looking, I have spend a little time with no luck. Maybe I just don’t know how to look for Mac informaiton. According to the June 11 User Friendly strip: “AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!! APPLE IS MOVING TO X86 ARCHITECTURE!!”, but I’m not sure if that is a valid information source.

I’m hearing 32-bit at the moment, but presumably 64-bit later; the big issue seems to be “computrons per watt”, and none of the Intel 64-bit chips (Itanium or EM64T) are terribly good on those numbers.
I expect to see Intel-based portables as some of the first shipping x86 Macs.
