Good Grief! The most any Alpha on my home cluster has
is 112MB and my best
Alpha only has 96MB because the RAM is so blasted expensive! I've found
that a Alpha with 80MB is about the same as a VAX with 16MB, and don't even
consider DECwindows in less than 80MB (and you won't see good performance
till 112MB). The 96MB machine is a 21164/333 feels about like the
For alpha maybe. I'm used to running decwin on MVII with 9meg! The
largest vax I have (memory wise) is 24 and then 16mb and for VAX/VMS thats
a decent amount of ram unless your doing large matrix math or big
databases.
