Depending on what you are doing you don't
necessarily need an enormous
amount of physical memory on an Alpha to run VMS.
In part it depends on how you define "Enormous Amounts", based on my
experience the minimum to run OpenVMS on Alpha is 112MB, and on a VAX that
would be an "Enormous Amount". Of course my main system is currently
running with 640MB RAM and sitting at 42% used.
