The AlphaStation should be a *lot* faster. The 21066, which the
Multia uses, differs from the 21064 in the AS200 in a couple of
major respects. One is that it has PCI logic on board, so you don't
need external circutry for that. The second is that its memory
controller is *very* slow, 2-3 times slower than a Pentium. For
general use, it feels more or less like a high-end (66 to 100 MHz) 486.
