Re: "I really don't think the 21264 vs. 21164 difference is of any consequence. Alpha is an accepted server platform with excellent performance (better than Xeon.)" I disagree. The difference between the 21164 & 21264 is really that one is manufactureable (sort of) while the other isn't. When comparing the 21164 to the Xeon, the difference in integer performance is about 2%. Floating point is another story and if that is what you really need get an Alpha or HP, if you can afford them. EP
