i agree with everything alan and fred said and here is the part numbers for
the upgrade from a decstation to an alpha workstation:

   PE40U-CA    Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a desktop alpha workstation (120V)
   PE40U-CB    Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a desktop alpha workstation (240V)
   PE50U-AA    Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a deskside alpha workstation (120V)
   PE50U-AB    Dst5K/2xx Upgrade to a deskside alpha workstation (240V)

those are for 120V systems.  if you need 240V, you need to change the last
letter to B in the above numbers.  (i.e. PE40U-CB)

you also need to upgrade the memory beyond 32MB as well:

 MS15-UB    16MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside 
 MS15-UC    32MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside 
 MS15-UD    64MB mem Trade-in/Upgrade -> Alpha Desktop/Deskside 

since you aren't in the U.S, U.S. pricing would be meaningless to you, so i
didn't include it.  if you are going for the top of the line, then i'd go
with the higher-end, deskside machine.

hope this helps!
