From Wikipedia (endianness):
To summarize, here is the default endian-formats of some common computer architectures:
* Pure big-endian: Sun SPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC 970, IBM System/360
* Bi-endian, running in big-endian mode by default: MIPS running IRIX, PA-RISC, most POWER
and PowerPC systems
* Bi-Endian, running in little-endian mode by default: MIPS running Ultrix, most DEC Alpha,
IA-64 running Linux
* Pure little-endian: Intel x86, AMD64, DEC VAX (excluding D-Float numbers)
So x86/linux, x86/windoz is little-endian, Mac is big-endian.
regards,
