Identify Intel processor under 2.6.1

[Scott Morrow]

Ken,
Thanks, I am using a variation on your approach and it is working.  If 
I recall correctly the shell call doesn't work in OSX 10.2, fortunately 
only system versions above 10.4.9 can be used by Intel Macs so checking 
the system version first eliminates that issue.  I'm just checking to 
see if "Intel" is among the words returned by the System Profiler.  I 
couldn't think of anything else in that short list that might return 
"Intel"
