The 21064A is an EV45 processor.  The speed is okay, depending
on what you want to do with the box.  You'll need more memory,
and the hard drive is really too small.  The SCSI controller is
fast narrow (53C810).  The Ethernet controller is 10M.  From
the picture there is a video card, but no description in the
listing of which one.

The good news is this system has two PCI slots instead of the
Turbochannel slots in the older Alpha systems.

Depending on the firmware (which can easily be flashed), you
can run OpenVMS, Tru64, Linux, and (I'm not 100% sure), one
of the *BSDs.

You'll need a key to open the box, if it is locked.
