IIRC, the proprietary simms were used on a 256 bit wide memory path, so that series had pretty zippy memory for it's time, much faster than the 3000-300 machines (if you could find the propietary memory). And the bigger machines used more power. Found a good listing of the dec 3000 machines here: http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~prescott/linux/alpha/dec3000-sysinfo.html Short version: small low-end machines (used 72pin parity simms) were: * DEC 3000/300 * DEC 3000/300L * DEC 3000/300X * DEC 3000/300LX high-end machines (used propietary simms) were: * DEC 3000/400 * DEC 3000/500 * DEC 3000/600 * DEC 3000/700 * DEC 3000/800 * DEC 3000/900 Jeff Davis
