DECpc AXP 150 Personal Computer



 The Hottest PC for the Coolest Operating System
 
 
 The DECpc AXP 150 personal computer is the fastest PC in the world! It offers
 the popular Windows(tm) computing environment and access to tens of thousands
 of shrink-wrapped applications. And with the Alpha AXP processor at the heart
 of the system, you get power typically associated with high-performance
 workstations. The DECpc AXP 150 personal computer truly combines the best
 aspects of both PC and workstation computing.
 

 Start with Power
  The DECpc AXP 150 PC uses the DECchip 21064 supercomputing processor running 
 at 150 MHz and provides over 100[1] SPECmark89 performance. That's fast. In 
 fact, it's the fastest PC in the world. A high-performance EISA I/O bus 
 provides unmatched expansion in graphics, networking, storage, or for 
 whatever your needs. For those compute-intensive applications that require 
 more memory, you can expand your system up to 128 Mbytes, more than enough. 
 With up to 8.4 Gbytes of internal storage, you can load more applications and
 store even more data. And if you want even more storage,  SCSI-2 controllers 
 provide for extensive external expansion. (over 50GB). 

 More than Just Speed
  Even the fastest system in the world won't cut it if it can't run your
 applications. For that reason, the DECpc AXP 150 PC offers Windows NT(tm), the
 new operating system from Microsoft(R). Windows NT provides the same familiar
 Windows user interface that's available with the DOS operating system today. 
 It runs most DOS Windows 16-bit and all 32-bit applications without 
 modification, now! And it will run 64-bit Windows applications when they are 
 available. Designed for the PC power user, Windows NT provides new levels of 
 scalability and security. And the DECpc AXP 150 PC provides the power to 
 deliver the future of Windows NT computing today!
 
 A Server Too
 In addition to being the fastest PC available, the DECpc AXP 150 PC is also an
 excellent server. A combination of a powerful CPU, extensive expansion
 capabilities, and the Windows NT Advanced Server software makes it the ideal
 server for PC workgroup computing. Windows NT Advanced Server software 
 provides superb server capabilities for client/server computing on any network
 including Microsoft LAN Manager, Novell(R) NetWare(R), and Banyan(R) VINES(R).
 Battery backup can be added easily through the Windows NT menu and via a
 standard serial port connection. This means no special or expensive system
 hardware is necessary.

	C2 security
	File/directory replication for availability
	RAID 0,1,5 for availability
	Domain control for ease of client management 
	Ease of system and network management
	Supports Windows 3.1 and MAC clients

Hardware:
	150Mhz Alpha AXP processor with 16KB of on chip cache
	512KB of secondary cache
	64MB memory expandable up to 128MB (standard 70ns SIMMs)
	Mini-tower package with five storage bays
	Six full EISA slots
	EISA-SCSI-2 controller (four maximum)
	EISA-SVGA graphics adaptor with 14" monitor
	EISA-Ethernet board
	2.88MB floppy disk
	600MB CD SCSI drive
	One 1.2GB SCSI disk
	Up to 50GB of storage expansion with StorageWorks elements (up to three
	BA350's with up to seven drives in each)
	Large selection of backup devices (DAT, QIC)
	Easy UPS installation
	Supports hundreds of connected PCs as a file server



The DECpc AXP 150 "Universal Platform":

Features:
The Universal Platform enables you to run three different operating systems on the same system:
	- Windows NT
	- OSF/1 the true "open" UNIX
	- Open VMS

You may wish to port your application over time from one environment to another, or they may have applications running or developed on several platforms. All three operating system licenses and binaries (on CDs) are included. Windows NT is factory installed on one of the hard disks. Either Open VMS or OSF/1 can be loaded on the second disk. The third operating system can be loaded on an optional third disk, or you can delete one of the two installed operating systems and load the third from the CD.

The system is identical to the NTAS system listed above except that it contains the following hardware:
	32MB of memory (expandable to 128MB) instead of 64MB
	Two 1GB disks instead of one 1GB disk
	A 17" inch monitor instead of a 14" monitor

Digital's Advantage:

Digital offers unheard-of  flexibility, performance and price-performance by allowing you to run up to three oprating systems on the same Alpha AXP system for porting or running different applications. 

You can simply choose the desired operating system at boot time.
