That's what I would do. The old RS6K servers are quite tough to find support
for and even more difficult to upgrade, but if you find a PPC "RS6K" server,
I would put some effort into that. stockholm, this box, is a PPC 604e (although
it's an Apple server, not an IBM box) running AIX 4.1.4 and I like it a lot.
Very snappy performance. Keep the disks for something that can really use 'em.

However, if you still want to take a whack at it, sometimes people are
selling equipment on comp.unix.aix. The prices can be quite confiscatory,
though.
