Does that mean I'll have to jailbreak my computer to do anything useful?

I was running geekbench on one of my older dual processor computers and I searched the net to see what else was equivalent. IPhone 5 was the exact same score.

So you have the power of a computer in your hand but you are sandboxed into Apple's little world where you can't even download some file off a basic html website like Aminet (which I do with my 1200 all the time).

Steve Jobs planned and wanted for Apple to switch to Intel x86 as early as late 90s. He was personally very dissatisfied with Motorola and their PPC chips and since Motorola also lost a lot of money when Jobs killed the clone market, there was no love between the two.

perhaps this project?
