It is a little bit strange, to run a 32bit Operating System on a 64 bit Machine, isn't it ? And if you would do, is Oracle/NT a 32bit or a 64 bit Product ? From my experiences on an 433Mhz Alpha the Applications i ran with FX!32 were as fast as on a 200Mhz Intel and the true NT Applications were running al right, but not faser than on a 300Mhz Pentium. I thougt this is due to the fact that NT on Alpha is 1) an OS which is ported to Alpha from Intel Platform (But native) 2) a 32 bit Operating system running on a 64 bit Processor/System

It seemed to me this was the same as to put a Porsche engine into a beetle and to espect it to be as fast as an original Porsche, not considering the chassis of a beetle. (The original one)

excuse my bad english, regards
