You don't want to ever use a 16MB alpha. I once tried, 4x4MB SIMM in a NoName. It is like tar crawling uphill. Going to 32MB immediately halved buildtimes of a kernel. Good VM test though. It kept running [crawling]. For all intents and purposes 32 MB is the bare minimum for Alpha, with 64 MB for a useful machine. No fancy KDE of course on 64.. So: for Alpha I don't think 16MB is worth considering anymore.
