Intel has done this before (witness the liquid nitrogen cooled Klamath demo last month). Now once again, they've used a special cooling systems to enable the processor to run faster (700MHz) than it ever would under real-world conditions - just to impress the press. I think you'll find on investigation that the Macintosh PPC chip will stay ahead of Intel chips for at least 2 more years and probably more. Also MHz doesn't tell the whole story as a 266MHz G3 PPC chip beats a 300MHz 604e PPC chip - which beats a 330MHz Intel chip. Historically, PPC chips used to be faster mostly in FPU performance, now they're faster in integer also. Ian Bruce
