I'm curious, and it would be great if someone could help me here. What is a Power PC exactly? I tried to read Wikipedia's article but it didn't help. I've heard that its architecture is different and that it is in fact faster than a comparable processor when looking at the GHZ.

PowerPC is a processor architecture, just like IA32 (Intel 32 bit) and ARM.

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

PowerPC is IBM's brandnamed chips that use the RISC archeteture. RISC is the archutecture, PowerPC is a brandname. Basically what sets RISC apart from CISC (Which Intel uses a form of in there chips, though the Pentiums use a hybrid IS currently, and there new chips use an entirely new IS/arcutecture though off hand I forgot its name.
