This question has been bugging me for a while and so I finally decided to post
it.  The new chip from DEC (Alhpa) is going to run Windows NT along with VMS
and UNIX.  If a 'Alpha' PC is running Windows NT, will this PC be faster than a
'Pentium' PC running Windows.  I mean, are these CPU's comparable...?  I am
assuming that the Alpha PC will be better and faster... Any comments..
Benchmarks..  
Have a great new year everyone..
