Not enough PPC chips yet.  Manufacturing is still ramping up on those, 
and every one Apple can lay hands on goes into a machine.  I heard rumors 
of a whole new fabrication line being built somewhere in the US, but 
until Motorola makes enough of them...

Of course, the best-selling x86 chip is still the 80486.  The Pentium 
*might* become the #1 in that market by late this year, but it hasn't yet.

Of course, a $1000 68040 machine with monitor included is a nice deal.  
I wouldn't buy one, but lots of people can live with machines below the 
cutting edge.
