The Alpha 800 supports the following memory configurations:

-----------<cut>--------------------
AlphaServer 800 system architecture supports from 32 Mbytes to 2 Gbytes
of memory. Memory options consist of four dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMs) and are available in the following variations:
32-Mbyte (consisting of four 8-Mbyte DIMMs)
64-Mbyte (consisting of four 16-Mbyte DIMMs)
128-Mbyte (consisting of four 32-Mbyte DIMMs)
256-Mbyte (consisting of four 64-Mbyte DIMMs)
512-Mbyte (consisting of four 128-Mbyte DIMMs)
1-Gbyte (consisting of four 256-Mbyte DIMMs)
The motherboard has eight DIMM connectors, grouped in two memory banks
(0 and 1)
Configuration Rules
At least one memory bank must contain a memory option
A memory option consists of four DIMMs (0, 1, 2, and 3)
All DIMMs in a bank must be of the same capacity and part number
The larger capacity memory must be in bank 0 or a "memory mismatch
error" will occur.
