re: The last chance for Alpha might be to lower the cost of the processor to nothing

Even if Compaq reduces cost on Alpha, why would ANY CPQ competitors use this chip (e.g. IBM, SUN, HWP, etc.)? They will go with their own proprietary RISC chips and try to differentiate (a-la chipsets) on Intel chips. Many so called industry experts always neglect this viepoint when HYPING up Alpha and bashing Intel.
