Hmmmmm...according to the Apple database, the max ram for an SE/30 is
32MB.  Has 8 slots for ram and can use 256K, 1MB or 4MB, 30 pin ram SIMMS
(120ns).  The 8 ram slots must be filled in 2 groups of 4.

Of course, it may be that the apple info is out of date, given that the
SE/30 is such an old model, and it will quite happily accept 8MB and even
16MB modules.

I'm running 7.5 on an SE/30 with 8MB, but more is better :-)

Has two banks of four slots.   Each bank must be filled with similar
30pin simms (both parity and non-parity chips will work - get whatever
is cheaper).   The banks can be filled with different size simms - this
is how you get 20mb (4x4+4x1)

Will run on 8Mb with about 4mb free, depending on extras.

Who knows.   The next worthwhile upgrade is to replace 4 of the 1mb
simms which likely inhabit the machine at present with 4 x 4mb simms for
a total of 20Mb.

You should be able to find new 4mb simms for between $20 and $30 (I just
got some at $20 each)

Cheers,
Hugh
