Superdome anyone?

by uusimaki＠exdecfinland.org

Yes, it is possible to replace PA-RISC cells with Itanium cells, but as the architecture isn't very recent, you cannot use very recent cells (or CPUs). The version with PA8800/8900 CPUs can be upgraded to a version with up to 1.6GHz Itanium CPU's.

It's a good card and yes it works certainly with the Alpha and OpenVMS 8.3.
