@Impulsivity I think any of the Power6 cpus from ibm would like to have a word with you. cell is powerpc based as is the 360s, but neither would make a good desktop cpu to much stripped out of them.
why they are good budget supercomputers is their floating point counts, always been better on the powerpc than x86, and floating points are very good for science shit, look at VT super computer all g5s.
however just because its a good science super computer dose not make it a good chip for general work or even a preferd chip for gaming
@all
honestly most of the posters should just go read the history of power alliance on wikipidia, most of the stuff is pretty indepth and covers all we have talked about both cpus get their own artical and articals for the rest of the family
