Sorry for being late on this, but...
Make sure that your using "TRUE PARITY" SIMMs/DIMMs.
I once bought some memory for my EB64+ only to find out that there was such
thing as "Logic parity" SIMMs.  
Rather than having a memory chip for the parity bit, the SIMM had logic to
generate what the parity bit should be.  Alphas can't handle that type of
memory.

  I've got a server 3300 that's billed as accepting 60ns EDO ECC dimms. I
have a set of four that fit the following specs. why don't they run?
 would compaq #228471-002 or HP D6114A. work better?
