Our 1GHz Alpha DS25 and ES45 boxen are verrry neat. Screaming fast, I'd
say.

System:                               CFP2000:
hp AlphaServer DS25 68/1000           985
hp AlphaServer ES45 68/1250           1365
hp server rx2600 (1GHz, Itanium 2)    1427
SGI Origin 3200 600MHz R14k           529
Sun Blade 2000 (1.015GHz)             775

Why the html they have two results for the rx2600 box from two different
dates, I don't know. I'd guess compiler optimizations though.
