[[Apple Computer]] was the dominant player in the market of personal computers based on PowerPC processors until 2006 when it switched to [[Intel]]-based processors. Apple used PowerPC processors in the [[Power Mac]], [[iMac]], [[eMac]], [[PowerBook]], [[iBook]], [[Mac mini]], and [[Xserve]]. Classic Macintosh accelerator boards using PowerPCs were made by [[DayStar Digital]], [[Newer Technology]], [[Sonnet Technologies]], and [[TotalImpact]].
There have been several attempts to create PowerPC reference platforms for computers by [[IBM]] and others: The IBM [[PowerPC Reference Platform|PReP]] (PowerPC Reference Platform) is a system standard intended to ensure compatibility among PowerPC-based systems built by different companies; IBM POP (PowerPC Open Platform) is an open and free standard and design of PowerPC motherboards. [[Genesi Pegasos|Pegasos]] [[Open Desktop Workstation]] (ODW) is an open and free standard and design of PowerPC motherboards based on [[Marvell Technology Group|Marvell]] Discovery II (MV64361) chipset; PReP standard specifies the PCI bus, but will also support ISA, MicroChannel, and PCMCIA. PReP-compliant systems will be able to run OS/2, AIX, Solaris, Taligent, and Windows NT; and the [[Common Hardware Reference Platform|CHRP]] (Common Hardware Reference Platform) is an open platform agreed on by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. All CHRP systems will be able to run Mac OS, OS/2-PPC, Windows NT, AIX, Solaris, Novell Netware. CHRP is a superset of PReP and the PowerMac platforms.
Power.org has defined the [[Power Architecture Platform Reference]] (PAPR) that provides the foundation for development of computers based on the Linux operating system.
