http://www.samsungsemi.com/home.html has more alpha info under their alpha
link.

I'm buying a bunch of alphas, but the reason I'm shying away from the
Samsung boards is because I don't see any obvious place to get the SRM
flash code from. 

I suspect that the LX board (their low end board) is based on the AlphaPC
164LX from DEC (which has the SRM available, of course), and that the BX
and UX are a new board that may not yet have the SRM - it may also never
have it, I suppose. 

The UX is pretty nice because it has 6 PCI slots (the picture I'm looking
at shows 1 64 bit, and 5 32 bit slots, rats), and 6 DIMM slots.  I was
hoping for at least 4 64 bit slots, so I could put 4 gigabit ethernet
cards in - oh well. 

Just checking their web site again, and it looks like the PC164UX only
goes to 667MHz (this must be a decrease - I remember that it used to say
800MHz).
