Anyone know of the highest version of RAMdoubler that will work on OS 7.1?

Eliminate the RamDoubler. 64MB is plenty for a Mac THAT old. Add virtual memory to 1 MB more as Apple suggests. The freezing you're experiencing may go away. If not, run it with the top off, standing on it's side. Heat may be a factor because of the extra stress on the power supply from all that RAM. Be sure you have a good hard drive and install of the operating system
you're using.
IIRC there is no advantage to setting VM to 1Mb over PM on a 68K system. The memory management that makes that worthwhile is only on PPCs.
