Still I could run windows 3.1 quite well on my 386/40 with math coprocessor and 32mb of ram if I wanted to (its used for old dos games and is equipped for that). In the past I have run windows 95 on a high end 486 system, and they generally max out at 64mb of ram. My oldest mac is a IIfx and runs OS 7.1 or is it 7.01 ok with just 20mb of ram (very hard to find a set of 4 SIMMs bigger then 4mb and too costly even if you did find some). Still even 20mb is more then enough for the programs of that vintage. Being able to upgrade the memory is nice, if you have the need for it. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
