The Alphaserver 800 uses EDO dimms, such as:

http://cgi.ebay.com/256MB-EDO-ECC-Buffered-DIMM-50ns-RAM-compaq-228471-002_W0QQitemZ380109511136QQihZ025QQcategoryZ11210QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The part is commonly used in a Proliant 1600

Hope this helps. I have the ones shown in the ebay link in my 800.
