See http://www.digital.com/semiconductor/alpha/dsc-pc164lx.html for a
M/b
from Digital that accepts Alpha CPU's clocking up to 600Mhz....

There are a number of vendors using this or other boards and shipping 
Alpha based systems at prices comparable to high end PC's, with
approaching
twice the performance...

Since the company has already announced 625Mhz chips, it seems
reasonable to
expect that faster chips will appear in the PC space before too long. Of
course, WHEN is a totally 'nuther story...
