- DEC 3000 Model 400 AXP starts at $15K
- DEC 3000 Model 500 AXP starts at $39K
- DEC 4000 AXP starts at about $70K
- DEC 7000 AXP starts at about $150K
- DEC 10000 AXP starts at about $300K

- My numbers may be off by a small amount, but are in the right ballpark.

- Yes. The 2 workstations use a 512KB cache. The DEC 4000 AXP has 1 MB. The
- 2 larger systems use 4 MB.
