My experience differs significantly, but then my P/Pro is 200MHz and my Alpha is 333MHz. Microsoft probably has older Alphas and newer P/Pro's.However, since Pentium processors are CISC and Alphas are RISC, the difference in clock speed may _still_ yield similar performance since the Alphas have to execute _more_ instructions to accomplish similar amounts of "work" (on the average since some tasks are simple and some more complex). Don't get me wrong -- we love our Alphas (so far) and feel it's probably a more stable platform at this point since the Pro's are still fairly new. Northwest Nexus Inc.

Before we continue on a path of naive CPU arguments (or worse, delve into 32-bit vs. 64-bit, MMU path width, cache, pipelining and stages, etc. etc.), can we take this offline please? Daniel ~~~~~~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
