Memory question for NeXT Color station

What is the maximum amount of RAM a Color NeXTstation can handle?  There are 8  
SIMM slots, so can I put 8 16MB SIMMS in?  What effect will this have on  
performance?

Each slot can handle up to a 4 MB SIMM, so you can have 8x4=32 MB.

We noticed significantly improved performance when more RAM was added
to color machines running NeXTstep 3.0.
