*cough* alpha *cough*
if you have the money (~$1000) and intel compatibility isn't an issue
(ie: you don't want to run windows), then alphas (alphae?) *scream*.
PCI bus, so you can use all your existing cards. heh: SDRAM is used as
a level *3* cache. go for the cheaper samsung clones, tho. not the
compaq ones. and don't just compare the MHz numbers.
