Bleh,

I'm only in the market for workstations.

Intel seems to have some mafia-like control over the chip industry and
has locked out all other ISA's from the workstation market, at any sane
price-point at least.

Last time I went shopping for an Alpha, I was quoted a price of $11,000

Even still, much of the stuff on that board was out of date. =(

Now they don't even exist. =((
