I got mine this morning, too.


It's interesting because the original PAKS sent out last July had 75/1050 Units for A/H availability.  People complained that 75 wasn't enough some of the larger Alphas and VSI issued new PAKS in September with 0/0 units.  This time they retreated from the unlimited Units and the Alpha PAKs have units of 150/1050.  The Integrity originally had Units=2, then changed to 0 and this time they are still 0.

A few people might have a problem using the Alpha PAKS with the 150 Unit limit (How much does a 4-cpu AS4100 need?), but I imagine there won't be that many.
