Yee-ha! According to this article:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-485578,00.html

Macs and game consoles are available with the POWER5 CPU!
I can't wait to get mine!

Relevant paragraph:


	ASCI Purple will be built using 12,544 IBM Power5
	microprocessors, the same chips that are used in
	Apple PCs and Nintendo games systems.  It will
	have autonomic software, allowing it to monitor
	itself for hardware breakdowns or lack of
	capacity. Blue Gene/L will be able to map stars in
	three dimensions, analyse earthquakes, and help in
	oil exploration.
