Is there DECstation 4100 or DECsystem 4100 ?  If so, what are its
performance characteristics and standard configuration.

Thanks

There is no DECstation 4100.  There is a DECstation 3100 and a DECstation
2100.

Current DEC RISC products are:
DECstation 2100
DECstation 3100
DECsystem 3100
DECsystem 5400
DECsystem 5800, 5820.

As for a DECstation 4100 or DECsystem 4100, there is no such thing.

As for other products not yet announced, we can't talk about them...

Someone told me that DEC has spec'd 4Mb DRAMS for the DS3100, allowing
your to put 64Mb in a DS3100. Is this true or just ``rumor''.

	Well it's the first time I've heard such a rumor.  But in
	any case, how do you get only 64Mbytes w/4Mbit DRAMS?
	I believe the current DRAMS in use on the SIMMS are
	1Mbit with a total system capcity of 24Mbytes.  If 4Mbit
	DRAMS were used (in the same space as the 1Mbit ones),
	I would think it would come out to 24Mbytes * 4, or
	96Mbytes?  Maybe there is a limitation w/the address bus?

	Sounds nice, but also sounds expensive :-)
