Well, I don't have any benhmarks, but I was at a seminar 2 weeks ago that
were showing Softimage running on dual Pentium Pros and the guy running
it said that one 200Mhz P-Pro was a little more than twice the speed of a
133Mhz Pentium. So if your standard Pentium is roughtly 6-8 times slower
than an Alpha, doing the math would make it 1/3 to 1/4 as fast. Of course
you start popping more than one of theses puppies in and the numbers
start to really change.

Wonder why we havn't seen DUAL ALPHA systems. Now were talking SPEEEED!!
