While a multi processor ALPHA may give the fastest throughput, it isn't always a "political sell" in business environments. Since current applications are running on a VAX 8000 series ther are many improvements possible. Does anyone have any performance numbers, or strong opinions, on Oracle on an SMP INTEL box (pentium Pro 200 MHZ, 2 processor, 512 Mb RAM, SCSI3 disks, WIN NT) versus an ALPHA 2100 series with 2 processors, 512 Mb etc. also running NT?
