There seem to be a lot of errors in the chip.

All CPUs have errata.

The 7410 (G4) has 21 (http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/MPC7410CE.pdf).
The 7447 (G4) has 36 (http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/MPC7457CE.pdf)
The 970FX (G5) has 24 (http://www-306.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/79B6E24422AA101287256E93006C957E).

that about sums it up in another thread

mine seems to be running just fine. Photoshop runs better on this mac thin it does on my amd64 3200+ windows laptop and its not even supported on intels yet ;) You cant release anything without it having a few bugs. I do think it was a somewhat of a rush for the imac and macbook pros to release intel chips in macs and not even have supported flash player!!!!! This is a HUGE problem for myself seeing how 90% if the sites I goto and own have flash on them. Which everyone of my sites I have taken the flash off until this issue is fixed as macromedia does not have a working version of flash player for the intel macs yet.

I have even emailed macromedia on the 21st about this issue and have yet to get a reply from them. :mad:

And you probably never will. You have to email Adobe now (if you haven't heard Macromedia is now owned by Adobe) ;)
