I was looking at alpha motherboards / systems tonight when I noted that
there are actually two different versions of the 500MHz 21164, an NT
(&linux) version and a UNIX (DEC UNIX). Apparently the UNIX version is
different and more expensive but will run NT also (the reverse is not
true). So what processor will freebsd-alpha run on, and Is the UNIX
version actually better or what?
