I have coworker who has a 3000 and her system uses decidedly
non-standard RAM.

IIRC, that would be another advantage to the 300X,
it should be
able to take more RAM than the Multia. HOWEVER, you'd best look
into what kind of RAM it takes and how much it has. Depending on
the model, it might be cheaper to get a better system than to
upgrade the RAM. This is why my AlphaStation 500/333 sits unused
with only has 96MB RAM, and you don't even want to know what I paid
for it :^(
I'm trying to remember which DEC3000-300 I have. I'm pretty sure
it's a 300X, but I'm away and my wife gets irked if I call her to
look at model numbers. :)
Anyway, it takes regular 36-bit parity, 72-pin SIMMs. The memory
in mine came out of an Indigo^2.
