Close. It's a modified 750 (I don't believe it's FX, but feel free to correct me) that's called "Gecko." It is a 405 MHz PowerPC-based chip. It originally ran at 485 MHz, IIRC, but they had to down-clock it for some reason, I forget exactly.

What if Sony starts selling their machines with OS X?

If Apple makes OSX for x86, I think it would make sense that they would use Sony. Sony makes top quality PCs and they market the same creatives that Apple does. You got to admit, Sony makes some killer looking PCs.
