- At the Comdex I talked to all the third party DEC Alphabased systems providers
- that were present there. I wondered why only Nekotech had a 289 Mhz system.
- All the others had a maximum of 275Mhz...
-
- I asked a DEC engineer. He assured me that there was *no* 289Mhz versie of the
- DEC Alpha 21064A chip. I asked him if it could be an overclocked chip. He said
- 'definitely'. I then went back to the Nekotech representative and asked him if
- the chip was overclocked. He said 'Yes, but it has been running stable for
- several days/weeks now. We think it is save.'
-
- Please correct me if I am wrong.

- And I might add an ugly case. At least, the tower system that Nekotech had at
- the Comdex was an ugly run-of-the-mill PC case. But one could argue that that
- is a matter of taste. ;-)
-
- I like Aspen's cases best, they look very nice and professional (I fact I like
- everything about Aspen's systems best. Bit that is besides the point now.).
- Carrera's cases are also quite nice (see their ad in the DEC/JAN VTU).
