#DEC PC's
Alan,
I've got a DEC xl 560 with the interchangable daughter card. I've contemplated
upgradeing the D-card for an alpha but I'm waiting to see if 3ds is going to
come in an alpha optimized version anytime soon…any word? Also wonder if the
alpha would have any advantage over a fast Pentium if 3ds-4 is not compiled
specifically for the Alpha.
Dec wants roughly 1.5 times the price of a whole new generic 133 Pentium
motherboard for it's 133 daughtercard upgrade. My daughtercard has the
processor installed in a ZIF socket. Would you happen to know if I can stick a
133 mhz Pentium in the socket, switch a few dip's and be on my way? If not, why
did they bother with the ZIF?
Thanks.
