Rob - Re: "500 MHz. Now the question is how do these workstations perform as a system. What bandwidth main memory to CPU? L2 cache speed
and size, SpecInt and SpecFp, AIM. In other words, things that
matter at a workstation level. Your point is?"

My point is that the 21264 ALpha seems to be a might crippled - with $7500 workstations being too expensive with only a 500 MHz Alpha.

Who's buying these "down-binned" WS's anyhow ?

Re: "So what is your point re: copper?"

If Compaq is rapidly trying to get "copper" for the Alpha, they must know something that you don't know.
