Hi folks,

I have seen an ad for a "DEC The Universal Desktop Box (VX40A-F2)"
with:
 
CPU: 166 Mhz DEC Alpha 21066A with 16K internal cache - 166 MHz clock rate
Secondary Cache: 256KB write-back
TGA Video w/2 MB VRAM Graphics accelerator with VGA connector
etc.

Does anybody know where it fits into the DEC product line?
It is an outdated system, I know, but we need a couple of extra low cost
workstations.
What kind of memory does it need? Is it somewhat similar to the AXP line
which DEC had a while ago?? Could it be used for some semi serious
calculations?


Thanks a lot,

       Matthias
