}It's not just 36-bit, it's FPM memory. I don't know what the difference is, but
}I know it's not compatible. (I believe the SparcLX also uses FPM memory, and
}I've tried 32-bit SIMMS in it with no luck.)

36 bit is parity, 32 bit is not.  Alphas do ECC as far as I know, so require
parity memory.  (With the number of SIMMs required, instead of just parity,
the alphas (and other motherboards) can do ECC.)
