yea that comment really does not make sense. Netfinity is ALL Intel processor
based. RS/6000 is ALL POWER(2,3)/PowerPC based. He may be referring to a few
years ago ('94/95/96?) when some PowerPC based machines were part of Personal
System Group at IBM. OR maybe just the fact that IBM released specs on CHRP
motherboards for third parties. Servers at IBM can mean many boxes (Netfinity or
NUMA-Q Intel based, RS/6000 or AS/400 based on PPC or even S/390s based on IBM
mainframe architecture.
