my ans is 100% . Intel will not need bootcamp with Sandy bridge. I am also betting this is when Apple will sell its OS to public. NOW you can build either or. Whats shocking is ATI and NV will need boot camp to run DX games . But not Intel larrabee.

It's been tried before...unsuccessfully.
Just before they brought Steve Jobs back, Mac opened up their architecture and OS to allow anyone to make them. It just didn't work, and sales were dismal.
The first thing Jobs did was to axe the program and make Macs a closed architecture again...


Can you tell me sir how did they get X86 programs to run on Apple?

They didn't need to...the license for Mac Roms was opened up to a large number of companies (just about anyone actually). It turns out that the public really wasn't that interested in the Mac OS...

The program lasted from early 1995 through mid-1997.

Well its 2009 and we all know about Apples CL. . It looks like I had the dots connected pretty good. Or do you want to tell me now CL on snow is a joke. I waited along time but we now have the ans. and I was looking for . What Intel and Apple were up to was called open CL and even MS come onboard with DX11. This was written 2007. So many will say in 2009 Bs . I say think what you want . I was write.

You may be right but you are also old enough to know that none of us youngsters will ever heed the premonitions of our elders ;)

Next you are going to tell us about how over-leveraged investment activities are a recipe for Great Depression type economic disaster :p

You old people are all the same with your "experiences" and "see it coming a mile away" viewpoints. Blah blah blah, next you'll be stammering about saying "eeeppppaaaa, eeeeppppaaaa". It's to the old folks home for you I'm afraid. Grampa's gone loonie. (again)

You do have away of making me lol. Unlike Viditor who never ans a question correctly. Viditor no one would buy Mac OS in volumn without load and run x86 programms. Bootcamp made it better but thats no ans. to problem . Sandy bridge solves apples problems . But puts a load on MS. About dam time I might add. If Snow run Intel AVX native. This breaks MS monopoly. Its a hugh game changer . To say it won't happen this way is foolish knowing what we do know to be fact. Intel/Apple it seems learned from the Best . It would appear they learned well. Its to bad IBM is buy sun . I so wanted to see Sun come back. But who knows maybe IBM won't buy Sun . Once they read the cross license agreement betwee INtel / Sun on the SPARC deal. Intel pretty much laid the rules here when they bought Elbrus. Sun was using Elbrus Tech. When Sun made that illeageal deal WITH sparc Russia was the USSR. So when Intel bought Elbrus Sun had to redo the license agreement . Intel used leverage and got it there way. I doubt the sun deal goes threw . When IBM finds out this tech is out of reach for them. They won't buy.

For the records Idon't care . I made that economic call along time ago . Here . Back when people thought it was good . I told all it was a lie we were living . I said the crooks were munipulating the Markets . Those post are here. But I not going to digg them up, I have always been able to see this stuff . Its simple enough A low income type borrows $300,000 for a home they can't make payments on. Thanks to Clinton and fools . Find out were the money leads than find out about those people. There are a couple of organizations I belong to . That do take donations. I can't say openly what we do as good lawyers could hurt us badly . It is our intent to bring the untouchables to justic . The sentance has already been passed. If you care to contribute PM me. Most you guys that take interest in this stuff . Are just now understanding how money is leveraged, I like that wording . How money is leveraged. Sounds great doesn't it. I new when I was a teen how this worked for crying out load. It shouldn't read like that. Thats another LIE. It shouldn't read how to leverage money. The Trueth is and thank the lord many are waking up. Here the TRUE reading. How to leverage people with money. We all need Money to live . But its nothing but a tool. But modern man has raised money to GOD like symobolism . A sin not so much against GOD but MAN. Because cause it removes inner peace inner happiness . It lends weight to the flesh. Which keeps man from enlightenment. You can't kill the flesh and expaned the mind. No matter what you believe . This are true statements. We can't have both. We must choose. and that is the only real thing any of us has. Choice- and excepting the results of those choices. That it thats all we have . If you think differant your in need of healing.

by putting an x86 cpu in a mac and modifying macOSX to run on x86...

not that it was any harder before, becauase the only x86 programs are programs written in ASSEMBLY CODE.
Most programs are written in C or java or something, which can then be compiled to ARM, PPC mac, x86 windows, x86 mac, etc

SO can I load programs made to run on ms os run on old IBM macks . This is what I am getting at here. A program made to run with MS. put it directly on a mac intel machine . without using boot camp. Is some one here going to say that program will run. Lets cut the BS. Because thats my point with AVX.

I really not finding correct way to say what I want. SO lets do it like this .

X86 is ported to AVX. . SO if you load a program for MS on to sandy if it has not been ported it will not run on Sandy The eastiest port is ALL sse2 . with a prefix of (vec) If I recall correctly. From their the ports get bit more intense.
