Elmer, <If you remember, they were claiming at the time they could simply replace the bios and run Athlon in Alpha boards! Well, things didn't quite work out as planned ...>

Geez, what a surprise. The Alpha platform was pretty much made for machines that cost at least ten times as much as Xeon-based machines. Yet the 'Droids thought AMD could have leveraged the existing Alpha infrastructure into machines that they hoped would have hit the same price targets as a Pentium 4 desktop.

It just doesn't work that way.
