The one of my Macs which is most reliant on MacPorts has 2G, cannot handle any more, and typically runs with <100M free and 1G in /var/vm/swapfile* files. The fallback positions there are NetBSD or a trash can, not a VM.
Mine (an early MacBook) is maxed out to 4GB; I understand that it *may* take 8GB third-party SIMMs, but the firmware *may* need to be flashed to pretend that it's a MacBook Pro, which *may* break things.
The thing won't even run High Sierra (it failed twice, for different reasons) anyway. Guess what I'm *not* going to do? :-) -- Dave
