There are the powerpc processors, which go from the ppc 601 to the more
recent G4s, passing by some other mostly embedded processors, and then
there are the IBM power cpus, of which there is the power3 and the
power4 and its little sibbling the PPC970 aka G5.
But in any case, debian-installer should know what is best for you.
