4MB x 8 = 32MB and great for OS 7, not too expensive.
Note however that the $0178 ROMs used in the II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30 cannot boot into 32-bit addressing mode, as the memory manager in these ROMs is 24-bit only and the memory manager is initialised very early in the boot process. By the time the System file is opened, code like disk drivers that execute before the System file is even opened has already allocated memory using the memory manager, hence special tricks are needed to reinitialize the memory manager in 32-bit mode which is performed by MODE32 from Connectix. It is free for download (I recommend getting v7.5 nowadays, it works with System 7.1 and 7.0 too).
