I have found that there are several people on this list running DEC Alpha Personal Workstation (PWS) 433/500/etc. machines, AKA Miata.  I currently have one of these machines with 256Mb of System memory, and am looking to upgrade it.

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/hardware-alpha.html says:

bus width: 128 bits wide, ECC protected
unbuffered 72 bit wide SDRAMs DIMMs, installed in pairs of 2
