In the 90’s the Alpha processor was one of the most powerful CPUs you could lay your hands on. With a number of operating systems available for it, from both DEC (VMS, Tru64) and 3rd parties. It even have the most successful none x86 port of Windows NT. For many the Alpha was then next machine up if their x86 PC just did not have the CPU power they needed.
