#Hot 3D P5 Motherboard?
You're correct, Cameron. Because the Alpha is a risc processor, it must use
many more cycles (per instruction) than the Pentium does. Cycle for Cycle,
this does make the 300mhz Alpha slower than a dual P5/150 for many operations.
However, for floating point ops, and for ops that may fit entire into the Alpha
cache, you could see a performance boost over the P5.
