Hi to all,

can some one please tell me what the difference is between an Dec Alpha
and a Mac Power PC chip is ? 

They are both RISC based processors right? 

Given stuff I have read about the Alpha one might conclude that if you
can run Windows NT on an Alpha Work station then you should be able to
do the same on a Mac Workstation right?

If so why all the need for this emulaion and 3rd party board crap to do
windows on the Mac ? 


Anthony
