David,

Frank also talked about the differences between Power and PowerPC. Power is
a superset of PowerPC, and i5/OS uses the complete superset.

I dont follow. i5/OS runs on PowerPC.

Depends on the specific processor. Some older ones no.
Mostly, i5/OS needs 64 bit and SLS address "tags active" mode.
