+ <h3>Introduction</h3>
+ The Alpha microprocessor, was originally developed by DEC, introduced
+ in 1992. At this time, Alpha was regarded as fastest CPU in the world.
+ Compaq, which bought DEC, announced that computers using Alpha would be phased out
+ by 2004 in favour of Intel's Itanium. Hewlett-Packard, new owner of
+ Compaq announced to support the Alpha series for a few more years but this will be the end of the lifetime.
+ Intels IA-64 will be the replacement of this series.
+
+ Alpha is a <a

+1</a> architecture - fully supported by FreeBSD.
