See, I know that when Apple wrote the manuals for the last 68k Mac in 1994,
there were no bigger simms available than 32MB, but it is like I wrote, some
simms over 32MB may work, but definitely *not all*, like I wrote in my post:

"Maybe some memory will work, but better check it first since 128MB simms
are somewhat expensive"

I checked it once again with a Q840av, I tried 64MB Simms (Kingston) and
128MB simms (TYP:SEC/KM44C16100BK-6). These are 100% OK, work like a charm
in my Powermacs, but plugged into a Q610, Centris660av or a Q840, they are
not recognised in their full size, I get sizes not over 32MB. Of course I
tried all possible slot combinations.

Some machine´s ram controller cannot handle bigger sized memory and some
can.

So - the best idea would be to make sure that the memory is supported in
that specific machine - just to be saved from disapointment.

I could not read what is written in the macfaq (down?), but I found this
