Apple went to intel for several reasons. - IBM PPC manufacturer reliability was killing them, there was a certain scandal with the G5's getting past the 2.0Ghz barrier on a scale of 90 nano meters I believe. - Boot camp, with an intel processor they could influence people on the fence to get a Mac, or people that wanted to (go forbid) run windows on a Mac. Remember, OS X is a micro kernel architecture and can easily be ported to multiple processors.
