Subject: CCL:G94W on DEC Alpha for NT

Dear CCL,

We are investigating buying either a Digital Personal Workstation for Windows NT or a the equivalent in Unix (www.dec.com).  The NT version is considerably cheaper and the suppliers claim that the two machines perform equal.

Gaussian however, does not supply a version for Alpa NT machines, and one would have to use additional software (which is standard with NT 5) in order to run normal NT software.

I would appreciate any comments on:
1.  The performance of the 2 machines.
2.   The use of Gaussian for Windows software on the DEC Alpha machine.  How does it compare with the Unix software.
3.  Any other hints.

I will summarise the info.
Best wishes
Gert Kruger
