Paul, 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? Maybe Dell already is? Alpha has not been a factor because it has been too expensive. When Compaq feels comfortable with Alpha yields, they probably will unload a barrage of low cost Alpha servers. Why should they keep paying through the nose for lower performance Xeon parts? Scumbria
