speed is optimized by a Digital 21164 Alpha chip,
1 MB of synchronous pipelined 9-ns cache, 64 MB
of 256-bit RAM with 1 GBps of rendering bandwidth,
a 2-GB hard drive, a 12-speed CD-ROM drive, and a
2-D graphics accelerator with 2 MB of RAM.  The

Paul Mitchell comments:

one megabyte of cache, oscillating in 9 nanoseconds

graphics throughput of one gigabytes per second

sixty-four megabytes of RAM addressed at 256 bits per cycle

This is a superSUPERcomputer.  :)
