Robb - Re: "! And yet today the 313 mm2 21264 (.35 micron aka EV6 process 21264) can be found in < $7500 workstations. " No kidding? What are the speeds of the Alpha chips in these $7500 workstation? 700 MHZ? 600 MHz ? 500 MHz ? 466 MH ? Re: "EV67 shows up in a few weeks (in ad supplement today). It is a 210 mm2 part.. " Great ! Maybe that will reduce the Compaq losses that are rumored to be forthcoming. By the way - I hear Compaq is in a big hurry to switch to Copper Metallization for the Alpha - you wouldn't know why, would you? Paul
