	Power Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power Macintosh, or Power Mac, is the name of a line of Apple Macintosh personal computers based on various models of PowerPC microprocessors.
		As the Power Mac was originally intended to be a part of the high end of Apple's product line, for a number of years the company continued to offer less expensive 68k-based computers alongside the more expensive Power Mac lineup.
		As of 2005, the "Power Mac" name is used with Apple's high-end tower style models, targeted primarily at businesses and universities, in differentiation to their more compact "iMac" line (intended for home use) and the "eMac" line (for the education markets).
