30 DECsystem 5400 and 5500 (Q-bus based systems, similar to the Vax
31 .Em Mayfair No \&or Em Mayfair II ,
32 but with an r2000a or r3000 CPU instead of a CVAX CPU.)
34 DECsystem 5800 (xbi-based multiprocessor, a Vax 6200 with
35 Vax CPU boards replaced with Mips CPU boards)
38 The minimal configuration requires 8 MB of RAM and 100 MB of disk space.
39 To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
40 X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
42 with 8 MB of RAM feels like
44 with 8 MB of RAM - slow.
45 Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
46 important than getting a faster CPU.

78 All supported DECstation video produces sync-on-green.
79 Be sure to use either a DEC-compatible fixed-sync monitor
80 or a multisync monitor that supports sync-on-green.
