Re: "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"

Considering AMD's situation, what could they have done differently? No bus of their own and no time/resources to develop one. They certainly weren't going to take Socket7 to the next level. What else could they do?
