I'd definitely appreciate some help in that department :-) I'm a bit
overloaded lately and obviously have let a few things slip. In all
fairness, Alphas are still amazingly fast compared to some other
platforms, so it's not that the info is incorrect, but rather is not
correct in certain contexts. Obviously, comparing a Multia to my Athlon
1900+ expecting the alpha to come out on top is unfair.
The pages are dated, though, admittedly, so I won't argue that they need
to be modified.

Hehehehe...well, I've always been of the opinion that less technical folk
should usually be the ones to handle web pages, if for no other reason
than the fact that I *know* that I speak on a different technical level
than the average user, making it very hard to relate. You may be in the
same proverbial boat techie-speak-wise, but a fresh pair of eyes can often
simplify things anyway (read: I'm too close to the port to really relate
info well to "outsiders).
