However is there any reason to really upgrade any compact mac to 128MB RAM? Don't you think that before you reach not even half of it the Mac might crash?

ROTFL. Old Macs running a well-tuned 7.1 are as robust as anything 7.5 or 8.x or 9.x could offer.


OTOH, I agree that 128Mb is overkill, except for the 'if it can be done, I want to do it' factor.

Oi, I have a IIci with 7.1, and 128MB of RAM and a 9GB Fast/Wide SCSI hard disk that makes great use of those resources. Granted it's not an SE/30 and scanning photos on a flatbed scanner ain't exactly the sport of the compact mac (need slightly more than 2 colours ;o) ) but still it can be used of you are willing to go some. No extra RAM should ever be seen as overkill, it's just more living space.
