+	<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
+href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">Tier
+1</a> architecture - fully supported by FreeBSD.
