I was there from the beginning (when we were still working out of cubicles in IBM's LAX building) and my recollection is that for the first 3 years the biggest CPU that TIPS (Teller Item Processing System) ran on was an 370/147 with 4MB of memory (the 370/147 did about 1.5 MIP on a good day and was slightly faster and cheaper than the 370/145 we traded up from when we moved into the new data center).
