what other architectures? i'm not aware of anything price/performance-competitive with intel with a open architecture and a reasonable lifespan. although we all complain about backward-compatability in pcs, the original floppy/serial/keyboard, etc. code still work. i'd be interested if anyone knows of an alternative architecture that fits this bill.
