can an rs/6000 do real time, My IBM rep says so?

[Steve Wallace]

Our IBM rep is telling me that the RS/6000's AIX can do real time 
applications.  Specifically, he says setting a proceses priority to the 
highest value will guarantee that process responding to an interrupt 
within a fixed about of time.  This sounds totally off-the-wall to me.  
Can anyone elaborate on the real time capabilities of the rs/6000 , if 
any.


Thanks,
