It is!

Years ago, I was talking with someone (I think it was thorpej@) in
person, and whoever it was told me two of my machines between them
represented what were at the time the fastest and slowest machines
which could run NetBSD.

I think the slow one was an hp300 and the fast one was an alpha.  I no
longer have the hp300, but it's likely one of the two alphas I still
have was the alpha in question.
