Albert, Re: "my point was that there was a deal between cpq and intel and intel got alpha." As you pointed out, Intel acquired Alpha IP, but it's doubtful that Intel will use that IP to continue making Alpha processors. Either way, Compaq is not continuing research and development of Alpha Processor technology, and they are intending to transition their Enterprise product lines to Itanium Architecture. Therefore, one can say that Compaq "dropped" Alpha for the Itanium. wanna_bmw P.S. You are correct that "Poor Ignorant Albert" was not called for. Few of the people on this forum are ignorant of what goes on, but the interpretation of the available data certainly differs from person to person.
