Michael, & list:

the 3000/300 could take up to 256 meg of RAM.  Some of the 3000's could
accommodate 1G.  I looked for the DEC documentation site oon this model, but
it is gone.  Here is a site with some documentation, in postscript files:

www.phys.ufl.edu/~prescott/linux/alpha/dec3000-docs.html

I learned Unix and GIS on a 3000/600, and think they can be pretty good
machines.  Especially if you run them on a command line.

Good luck
