I have the names and numbers of a few vendors that sell ColorStation
memory (gleaned from the net and the old FAQ), but was wondering
a few things that I think probably only the collective wisdom on the
net would know, so here goes...

I'm going to be buying a few more Color NeXTStations, probably Turbos.
Because of the way MIT sells them, the minimal configuration I can
get easily is 16MB/250MB (ram/disk).  Assuming I want to fill these 
machines up with a lot of memory, what is the highest capacity DRAM
out there for this machine?  If this was an old NeXTStation or Cube
I know all about 256K/1M/4M/16M, but with the newer machines, and 
their different sort of memory, I'm at a bit of a loss.  Are the chips
comprising the 16MB of the color Slab near the peak of their peer
group (i.e. equivalent to 4MB SIMMs in old memory speak) or are they 
just taking up space (i.e. equivalent to 1MB SIMMs in old memory 
speak) and I'll need to throw them out to make way for better chips?

Ideally I'm hoping that the 16MB machines are shipped with half of 
their memory slots free, so I can stick in 64 MB of the higher capacity
memory (when it's available for a reasonable price).  Is this 
reasonable?  Also, does anyone know the name of the highest capacity
memory you can stick in the NeXTStation Turbos, and the names of
any current suppliers of it.  

Thanks in advance.
