- i agree with everything alan and fred said and here is the part numbers for
- the upgrade from a decstation to an alpha workstation:
-
- PE40U-CA Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a desktop alpha workstation (120V)
- PE40U-CB Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a desktop alpha workstation (240V)
- PE50U-AA Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a deskside alpha workstation (120V)
- PE50U-AB Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a deskside alpha workstation (240V)
-
- those are for 120V systems. if you need 240V, you need to change the last
- letter to B in the above numbers. (i.e. PE40U-CB)
-
- you also need to upgrade the memory beyond 32MB as well:
-
- MS15-UB 16MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside
- MS15-UC 32MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside
- MS15-UD 64MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside
-
- since you aren't in the U.S, U.S. pricing would be meaningless to you, so i
- didn't include it. if you are going for the top of the line, then i'd go
- with the higher-end, deskside machine.
-
- hope this helps!
