If you want to know my favourite one it is the 7100 with sonnet G3,hi!
MacPicasso video card driving a 20" Formac and 3 external hard drives with a
LaCie burner. Is it true that max. RAM is 136Meg on these as I could do with
more?
Having acquired a 6100 for about �2, I bought a G3 card and am now having fun with the fastest System 7.1 machine in the world - probably!
Have found a great site here: http://www.kan.org/6100/index.html
He suggests that 6100s can go to 520Mb if you can find the right 72-pin SIMMs.
But although 7100s have 4 RAM slots, not 2 as in the 6100, http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/7100.shtml suggests that you can't have bigger than 32Mb SIMMs in each slot.
72-pin SIMMs become a black art beyond 32Mb. Chris Lawson has done a lot of work on them with the results at http://macfaq.org/hardware/memory.shtml#Q2.4.6
I haven't yet had chance to research how that applies to 7100s, but a bit of judicious googling should help.
