Do you find the 300LX to be slower than a Multia (running the
standard 2.5" drive)?

I believe only one or two models of the 3000 take 72-pin SIMMs. My
3000-300LX does, and it's also one of the slowest Alpha's out there. 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.
