  The current RS/6000 machines are PCI, and are built around
PowerPC-architecture processors.  That goes back a couple of years.

  I second James' assertion about the floating point performance, by the
way.  I have a PowerStation 350 here...it's got a 41MHz Power1
processor.  It cranks about three times the floating point performance
of a Sun SS2, which is clocked at 40MHz.

  Lots of bang for the clock cycle (and nowadays, for the buck!) in
those RS/6000 machines.  I've not been messing with them for very
long, but I like what I see so far.
