Investor A, RE: DEC Alpha memory subsystem.

DEC Alpha memory subsystem is very good, but it was optimized to have 3 levels of cache -- L1, L2 and a very large L3. So you can see why Intel Pentium, Pentium II and Pentium MMX, based on stolen Alpha technology, do very poorly when all there is is a puny L1 cache.

PS - it will be even worse with Windows 98 and Windows NT!!
