This page has been around since way before alpha was stabbed in the back by Compaq. When my wife was looking for an alpha (in June) we could see this web page, but couldn't buy the motherboard anywhere. She finally got a dual-cpu Athlon. These systems might really exist now; they have been up on the specials page at Hard Data (http://www.harddata.com/specials.html). If anybody actually has one, I'd be interested in hearing how fast it is. Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
