Main memory defines the amount of memory assigned to the virtual Alpha system. Available memory is selected from a drop-down list.
Avanti supports 32MB to 3GB of memory. FreeAXP supports 32MB to 128MB of memory. Memory is mapped to match the three memory banks available in a real AlphaServer 400. The user need only specify the total memory desired in the Memory field. The following table describes the legal memory values for Avanti and depicts how they are calculated. It includes the license units required to support added memory beyond 128MB under AvantiFlex.
