Somewhere around Tru64 V5.0 support was dropped for the Turbochannel graphics
cards.

I personally wouldn't describe a 3000-300LX as "quite speedy", I have one
somewhere, and used it as a VMS server for quite a while.  OTOH, it uses
72-pin True Parity SIMM's, rather than something proprietary, so it isn't a
bad system.
