I suppose it would be interesting to see if redhat could start building their
alpha systems with compaq's ccc tailered to the cpu/chipset. I suppose
providing 3 generic CPU's ( 21064, 21162, and 21264 ), together with the
supporting programs ( ie glibc built for an EV6 processor, X built for the EV6
processor ) I would think that a lot more items would scream speed.
