In principle: yes. For details, one would need to know what kind of board
it is exactly - there are several DECstation 5000-systems. According to
your data it could be the board from a 5000/25, a 5000/125 or a 5000/200.
If the memory sockets look like PS/2-SIMM-Sockets (just with 80pins
instead of 72), it is a 5000/25 or a 5000/125, if the memory sockets are
two-row-connectors, it is a 5000/200.
"Has some memory on board" sounds like a 5000/25 (8MB onboard).

If no one else is interested, I could use the daughtercard carrying
the processor for upgrading another machine.
