I guess I was just naive, but I thought that if 3DS went to NT, it would work on any system running NT. The DEC Alpha specifically. Is that not true? I was considering purchasing a DEC Alpha set up with NT because 3DS was moving in that direction. However, if it will not work on the DEC, then I need to rethink my intent. Can anyone offer insight into this? DEC's systems are using "industry standard PC components", (at least the one I was considering) and have the "fastest CPU on the Planet". I believe they will be announcing their fastest CPU yet this month at a show in San Francisco. ( I thought I heard them say 366Mhz). Any comments are welcome. Thanks, Dennis
