Anyone who know a fair bit about CPU tech?

Wondering if anybody knows if OSX would ever run on this baby? Pressing a buttons swoosh your in OSX again BANG your Windows?

Would be awesome.

(don't forget running Google Os in the background aswell )

That would be amazing.
But they would most likely cost an arm and a leg when they finally do come out.

Yes they would but a AMD - Opteron 880 Dual-Core 2.4GHz 1MB  top of the line costs roughly $2600 so a few hundred more and you can buy you a good Mac and would most likely be a good idea to wait and see what apple puts out on the pro line before buying a G5. However it depends on the ultimate goal, do you want to run OSX and all it's goodies or do you want to remain PC. That quad chip is pretty darn cool but what will you do with it? It is like buying a Ferrari to go to the grocery store.
