Switching architectures would necessitate some changes to the operating system itself, increasing complexity and slowing it down. Yes it has a long way to go, but we can never be too cautious.

My reasoning lies in watching BeOS go from the BeBox to intel. I had the chance to test drive a rare BeBox once and BeOS was noticeably faster than it was on my intel P2 system. I really was disappoointed too, that later versions of the system became excessively complex. I aim to keep things as simple as possible. Our path for now is clear, and I'm sure we will soon find a solution without needing a HW switch.

Want a part for a Mac? Let me know, I'll see what I can do.
Amithlon is amazing, questions and help I can provide.
