Kevin - Re: " Why would they sell like hotcakes when any customer will be able to buy a faster Alpha cheaper to run 64 bit NT?"

Because their existing software runs on Intel processors.

Alpha NT servers need dedicated ALPHA-Compiled software.

And the industry standard INTEL has the VAST MAJORITY of software.

Re: "K7 on the low end and Alpha on the high end could spell trouble."

Realty check - the trouble is AMD.

Look down below at the stock price.

Don't forget to smile !
