Rob - Re: "I suppose what you are getting at is who is adopting
Alpha outside of Compaq. There are a number of smaller
OEMs that resell Alpha boxes, you can click on
www.alpha-processor.com and see them. But your point is
well taken. "

Thanks for the admission.

Regarding Merced - you are ignoring TWO of its most compelling features - its SMP scalability for SERVER applications and FPU horsepower for Workstation Applications.

You can wax on-and-on about Athlons, Willamette, 32 bits, etc - but you are IGNORING the VERY LARGE markets for which Merced was designed.
