Tech, If you install NT on a fat partition, you can install Alpha NT DIRECTLY over Intel NT. Keeping all your registry and user settings. Sounds almost impossible.. Well I used to think so as well, until I saw it done. Then you can run alot of your X-86 Apps using the FX-32 emulator. To me, this is a relatively straight forward upgrade path, considering if I have to swap motherboards I would usually have to reinstall NT anyway. And an NT over NT installation isn't hard at all. Now, while Merced will/may have hardware emulation, how good is it going to be (especially for PA/RISC). Last I heard PA/RISC support won't be in Merced, but in it's follow on chip.. Steve
