The first VAX 11/780 I used came with 512 KB of memory. One
Friday afternoon, it crashed and I ran diags and found a
memory board had died, and pulled the bad one out. We had
to run on 256KB over the weekend until DEC could come out
and swap it. It ran a HUGE finite element analysis. I
warned everybody to restrict number of logons and other
processes.
