Intel transition complete
Apple today unveiled two new product offerings at the World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco, completing its planned transition to Intel-based processors in just 210 days, far ahead of schedule. The new Mac Pro and Intel-based Xserve replace the older G5-based Power Mac and Xserve models, boasting higher storage capacities, 64-bit processing capability, lower power consumption, and better overall performance. The company announced that half of new Apple retail store Mac buyers are new to the Mac, that its last quarter results saw the strongest Mac shipments in a 13 week quarter with 1.3 million Macs in total, and that Mac share is growing faster than the industry rate. Apple also said 1,000 company engineers will be on site to coach the 4,200 attendees, or one employee for every four attendees with 100 hands-on labs.

Great stuff
I believe Apple has priced dual woodies very competetively. Its going to sell very well. Most others are selling high end conroes at similar price.
