OK, a bit of an odd question here, but I'm
wondering what people think as I'm used to a PWS 433au.
A co-worker of mine just bought a VAXstation 4000/90 and a DEC 3000/400. She wants to use
one of them as a Mail Server running OpenVMS. The VAX looks to have 104MB, the Alpha
looks to only have 96MB. Any idea on which would work best for her? Part of what has me
concerned is the lack of RAM on the Alpha. If she uses the VAX, it will probably end up
running V7.3, if the Alpha probably V7.2-1H1. DECwindows won't be loaded, which will
help get the Alpha down to a better memory footprint.
Oh, she'll probably also want to run a Webserver on the system so that the mail can be
accessed via the web.
Make that a VAXstation 4000/60.
