Third barrel.
From 1995-98 my wife and I used a Classic II with 6MB of RAM and a 40MB HDD (with an external 80MB HDD for backup) under System 7.5. It coped well with her degree work, our broadcasting work (including a 10-12,000 record music catalogue), my secretarial work and all correspondence. However, unless you limit your use to such prosaic tasks, even 10MB of RAM (max.) will give breathless operation under 7.5.3, which is a System designed for the then-arriving PowerPC Macs, not the 68K Macs. If you wish to have the best of 7.5.x without inducing hypertension in a Classic II, why not look at retrofitting parts of of 7.5.5 to an older System such as 7.1.
