I have to wonder exactly what everyone here is trying to do with their alphas? I use my 3 alphas as primary nameserver, secondary name server and firewall. They are 21064 233's and they are extremely useable, quite fast and in general a nice machine to work with. If you want to greatly improve the speed of your alpha you really need to make sure it has enough memory. 96 megs is the minimum I would put (and is what I do have in mine) in for a useable system. Obviously more is always fun. These are not the latest and greatest machine that Compaq makes and for how old they are and how cheap mine were I think they are excellent machines. -Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
