Cameron, >> the ALR Q SMP revolution is around $25,000 has 4 Pentiums-133's each with 2 meg cpu cache, dedicated cpu to memory paths for each, and up to 1 gig EDC (error detection + correction ) << sounds interesting, but not really fast enough. >> then there are the quad P-6 machines available in Dec. for under $30,000 1200 + Mips !! << how does 1200+ MIP's compare to an alphaserver 4 cpu (21164 300mhz)? I know it's 25% of the price, but what percentage of the performance? Hopefully, I'll be able to trade in some of my Pentium 100's and RAM when the time comes <g>. Martin
