Elmer, thanks for the Alpha link. It answers Yousef's "who will make the chips?" question and documents the 1 GHz Alpha in 1999. <snip>"Samsung Electronics, part of the Korean electronics giant Samsung, has been manufacturing the second-generation 64-bit Alpha for use in Compaq computers, and Samsung now supplies Compaq with more than half its Alpha chips, Samsung said. Compaq offers a high-end line of server computers based on Alpha chips which compete with systems based on Intel's Xeon Pentium II processors. ... . Samsung said previously that chips it brings out in 1999 will run as fast as 1 GHz (1000 MHz)." Craig
