- What is SPARC - a CPU architecture
- What is ALPHA - the same
- What is a SPARCcenter 2000 - a computer system with 20 MBus slots for
- processor modules of 1 or more CPUs
- What is the DEC 10000 - similar, I guess
-
- Why are you comparing 40 MHz CPU's to 100 MHz CPUs as a measure of
- architecture performance. Why didn't you also include cost along with
- expandability. Why doesn't this move to comp.arch where is really belongs,
- and has probably made it into an FAQ?
