>If 3DS MAX were shipping today for the Alpha it would be ideal. The P6 should be shipping around the time 3DS MAX does and there is more NT software for the x86 then the Alpha. Don't know how the P6 will compare to the Alpha that would be shipping at that time, but the P6 machines should be cheaper.< Yes, I agree. I stated the Alpha because it's the fastest and it does not rely on multiple processing for the speed. (Dec sells multiple processor Alpha's too.. <$$> Personally, I bought a dual pentium ready system for compatibility today. I believe P6's will be slower than Alpha processors (newest vs. newest, etc.) but will be cheaper (as you mentioned) It'll be interesting. As programs go towards NT, the Alpha will become even more viable as a single workstation. (assuming they keep their lead in $/performance) JNJ
