Forget it. Really, that is not a realistic pricepoint for an EV6 box, let alone a 1GHz one. My best guess is that EV6 boxes run in the 1-2k$ price range. And bare boards (sans CPU I mean) were never produced AFAIK. > I am a bit confused on the issue. I have read that the 21264 is pin > compatible with the Athlon Socket A.

AMD got a bunch of the Alpha chip designers inhouse now. -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte Arnhem, the Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
