Scvumby - Re: "I think that Alpha will depress the value of both Xeon and K7." Look at history - and reality. The Alpha chip has been out in one form or another since about 1992. It was initially regarded as an Intel Killer. Do you know what happened to Intel's sales, profits, and CPU performance since 1992 ? Do you know what happened to DEC's sales, profits, and CPU performance since 1992 ? The ALPHA is a non -issue. Compaq will sell ALPHA servers and workstations - they own the ALPHA IP. But no one else of significance will - why would a DELL or IBM or HP or Gateway or SGI buy ALphas from Compaq/Alpha Inc and help promote their own competition? Paul
