I thought you had one of those...? Anyway, the good TC alphas (basically anything but a 3000/300) slighly outperform AS200s with slightly higher clock speeds, so I imagine that they run circles around 21066 machines). But since there is no interest from users to support TC alphas, I agree with axing them.
