Now that's an odd typo...

I wonder if the fact that
AMD
Apple


are relatively close in name. Maybe the guy who was doing the updates has a dbase list (Who knows what kind of GUI they are using.) and entered it in the wrong field. *shrugs*

[edit: Actually I'm betting its a checkmark field. There seems to be three common options
For your MAC or PC
For your MAC
For your PC
[or none]

Well considering that the AirPort base uses an AMD processor.... :D

Sounds like a typo to me, but it wouldnt be that bad if it was true. At least it isnt a pentium :rolleyes:

Isn't this the same site that showed Jaguar requiring an x86 processor before Jaguar was introduced?

Hey If you could buy an Athlon to work on OS-X who wouldn't. Imagine thew savings. Though I agree it is a typo, however I'm amazed it hasen't been fixed.
