If you're going to build Windows PC's, you need to use Intel or
compatible chips.  PPC chips are not compatible, and are not fast enough
(yet) to emulate Pentiums effectively.

IBM has used PPC chips in some of their other (non-Windows PC)
computers, although I can't say for certain that they are still doing so.
