Subject: Crafty and Alpha processors

It has been stated by Robert many times that Crafty is blazing fast on an Alpha
processor.

If this is the case, why wouldn't he use Alphas to run Crafty on the chess
servers instead of the big gun Xeons?

What would be the actual cost of a Quad processor Alpha machine?

And how much faster would Crafty be on that hardware?
