A EV5 Alpha needs 2.5 times the MHz to get 1.5 times the int power of

That was an additional thought. At least with NetBSD (or Free-/OpenBSD)
I get support for a lot of PeeCee-ish ISA/PCI cards. But as there is
no free X11 server for the PowerStorm 4D50T card and I got a Tru64
licence with the machine, the OS choice was easy...
