The Power PC processors were first introduced in 1992 and have been used in many type of computers from stand alone desktops to embedded systems for manufacturing and IBMs high volume servers for big business'. They were used in Macs before Apple switched to Intel processors. The UNIX, Linux, Solaris, BeOS and IBMs AIX and i5 operating systems will all run on Power PC based computers as would Windows NT up to version 4. Game consoles use processors based on the Power PC architecture such as Microsofts Xbox 360 (Xenon processor), Sony Playstation3 (CELL processor) as do Nintendo's GameCube and Wii consoles.

I just did the engine in my 94 and wanted to do a 96 engine. The only computers that will be compatible in a 94 is a 91 0r 92.95 PCM Computer in a 94 Saturn S SeriesNo it is not compatible.
