A VAXstation 4000/96 (95?) may be faster then a Multia. The Multia has
the chripeld down 21066 CPU chip. A 166 MHz EV4 Alpha is not fast at all
but with the limited memory interface of the 21066 it will be extra
slow. (Alphas need _lots_ of memory bandwith.) If you want an Alpha to
play with get a DEC 3000-600 or up or somthing in the range of an
AlphaStation 255. (Somthing with a 21064 or an early 21164 machine.)

By the way I have an AlphaServer 1000A 5/400 for sell / trade.
