I had a 533mhz Alpha box, back when they came out. My god was that 
thing fast. This was back
when a Pentium II topped out at a little over 200mhz on a good day and 
the Alpha was 64-bit on top
of that. We built a huge renderfarm out of Alpha boxes for that movie 
about the ship that was as doomed
as Digital Equipment....
