[edit] Related links

There's a ton of stuff that's related to Power Architecture, and most of them is gathered on the Category:Power Architecture page. Wouldn't it be better to just link to that page rather than to crowd the template with links every related article? The category is listing over 90 entries so far. However, there are related links that's not covered by the Category, like RISC. -- Henriok 09:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed most of the related links, and added a link called more... to Category:Power Architecture  :-) --Unixguy 18:41, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color

Has anyone noticed that the background color for the "Related Links" heading makes the text difficult to read? It should be changed. Rilak (talk) 07:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Changed the color of the text instead. -- Henriok (talk) 11:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Appearance

This navbox in POWER3 makes the article look awful. The text is squeezed between the photograph and the navbox extends down into the section below. Is there are reason why the navbox bust be vertical and placed at the top of the article instead of horizontal at the end of an article? Rilak (talk) 13:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] POWER5 historical?

I'm inclined to move POWER5 to the historical section. It's probably still used by IBM in some storage systems but hey.. There are probably some PowerPC 603 still being made. The technology and instruction set is historical by now. There is no new implementations not any new development using POWER5. -- Henriok (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

How do we define "historical"? The 603 is still in production, but it is not recommended for new designs. Essentially, it is no longer actively marketed, it is only available for existing customers, and only so they have time to find alternatives. Does the POWER5 fit? It is not a chip that is available on the merchant market. If I am not mistaken, Bull and Hitachi use the POWER5 in their current products. I think it is more appropriate to say the POWER5 is historical when all products using it are discontinued. Rilak (talk) 04:26, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. I wasn't aware that Bull and Hitachi still used POWER5. -- Henriok (talk) 11:17, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
