My Answer: 0%. But that could change soon.

When I'm at home it's 50% (thank you work!). It'll rise to 66% when I pick up an intel mac of some description later in the year, and then to 100% when I give my PowerBook G4 to my step-dad at Christmas.

100% because I only have one Mac now.
50% of all my computers use Intel CPUs though. The other 50% uses AMD.

Non intel systems are an old G4 minitower and a Mac Mini being used as a DVR.

Not counting my sister's half-abandoned Powerbook G3, 50%. Counting processor cores, 66%.

Hum, 25% counting machines, 33% counting processor cores. Without the old and mostly unused 5 years old iBook G3 (I keep it as a test machine for old MacOS X releases), that's 33% and 40%.

1 for home (MB), and 1 MB pro for work ... 100% at home. I have a G5 at the office still - and will for a while.

50% - PowerBook G4 17" & iMac 20" Core Duo

33% I just bought a new mac book pro and I will probably replace the my G5 tower when OS 10.5 is release. It's really starting to feel sluggish for the first time in 3 year.
