I got the Alpha machine from a member of numeric analysis group of a department so I've not so precise information about Alpha machine. But cat /proc/cpuinfo tells me cpu : Alpha cpu model : EV56 cpu variation : 7 cpu revision : 0 cpu serial number : system type : EB164 system variation : LX164 system revision : 0 system serial number : cycle frequency [Hz] : 666666666 > > debian-alpha subscribers: is anyone else seeing this?
