I've just been thinking - so please correct me if I am wrong.... If Apple have PPC pretty much to themselves - and we wont get much of a looking....


If X86 chips are cheaper than PPC - and if X86 are just RISC chips that emulate some CISC instructions - is it possible to write Amiga OS so that it only accesses the X86 RISC instructions - and not the CISC ones? Would that provide cheaper, faster more efficient hardware? Of course come future OS's Hardware will become agnostic!!!!


Just a thought - I dont know much about that stuff.
