An Alpha version is indeed planned.  In fact, an Alpha NT workstation
is scheduled to be delivered here later today, and with any luck I'll
have a LightWave render module compiled for it this weekend, and maybe
some render times to talk about next week.  I don't know how much RAM
is needed on Alpha PCs, but I would recommend at least 32 MB (NT itself
needs more RAM on MIPS and Alpha PCs than on x86s).  When you run low
on RAM when running NT, it's not always obvious, since the system just
starts using virtual memory automatically.  This can slow things down
of course, but at least it allows rendering of extra-large scenes in
a pinch without having to go buy more RAM.
