I'm out at 21 1/2 per Paul's advice.

G3 - Re: "Not quite. Alphas can run most all x86 shrink-wrapped software via its high-speed emulation software called FX!32. "

And what complete fool would do this on an expensive Alpha Server - only to have it run as fast as a 133 MHz Pentium machine ?

G3,

Alphas can run most all x86 shrink-wrapped software
via its high-speed emulation software called FX!32.

FX!32 is more of a translator than an emulator. For most x86 code it permanently translates the code into an Alpha binary. Emulation is only done for the non-translatable parts. The performance from FX!32 translated x86 code is far better than could be accomplished from emulation.
