Beware, I found that it was painful to run Netscape on a Tru64 system
with
96MB. Tru64 seems to be even more of a memory pig than
OpenVMS.
VMS isn't a memory pig. Alpha however was aimed at big apps and isn't
as byte efficient as VAX so it tends to consume 2x-4x the ram. The
design
goal of Alpha was big address space for even bigger apps like gigabyte
or even terabyte sized databases.
A VAX with 64-128 mb is a big (memory wise) machine. Besides 7.2 runs
just fine in the MVII with 9mb!
