Somebody get me a Alpha that will work with all the hard ware he has
outlined. ;-)

For my money it would be P2 but with Intel on the horison of new slot
designes, I can see the first generation P2's becoming like the 60/66 P5's.
You can go so far but its never enough. (233 - 300 Is'nt allot of upgrade
potential.)
What I here of the specks for Slot 2 it will go well beyond 500Mhz (300 -
500Mhz, Now thats starting to sound like upgrade potentil).
Just to contredict all I have just said the Alpha I routinly use eats NT for
breakfast and UNIX for lunch, It's DAMM FAST by x86 standards.

Regards
    John
