Runs AIX,
based on the Power2 Processor (a PPC varient, or maybe it came
out before the PPC).
Very similar, but the PowerPC has much of the good floating point
hardware stripped out. Power2 has very good floating point performance -
probably the best of any microprocessor ever made until very recently.
