#New Alpha PCs?
More on the ideal 3DS system election issue. Any of you have give a
look to the new DEC PCs? A 3 ISA and 3 PCI slots box powered by a
486DX2/66, Pentium or Alpha card hooked by a 64bit bus to the memory
(up to 192MB) and the rest of the system. Just have see it in the
last PC World issue. It sound to good for me. Buy a real
"64bit-bused" Pentium (for around $4500, including 15" monitor, 340MB
SCSI-2 HD, CD ROM and 8MB) and have the opportunity to change in a
year or two (when the Yosters come with that NT 3ds <g>) to a full
Alpha AXP for "just" $1199 -price now, expect prices to go down in
all that time squeezing the Pentium). Anybody have seen it in Comdex?
The article say that it's available now.
Seems to me as an ideal evolution path.
(uhh, and just make the price calculation WITHOUT all the additional
stuff, like the CD-ROM and the monitor)

ps.Hey, and what about that new Matrox MGA2 for the PCI bus? I just
have recieved some brochures today. It will be for $999 for the
highest model. Nice combo, isn't it?
