How much RAM does the SE\30 have?

A lot of games I play is System 7 in either 040 or PPC. But that is a system requirement. Red Baron, Tank, Spectre VR, MAME and so on... And with a minimum of 16 megs of RAM.

When on System/OS 8, the games run slow. They run better on System 7.

There are older games that need System 6, I'll give it that. So it depends on the Mac and what it has, and the game. I'm sure you can use Swither (System 6) and Start Up Disk (System 7) to choose what system for what games you play.

Edit: And yes, you need 24bit addressing on if you have more than 8megs of RAM on the SE\30 in System 7.

Thanks, I am mainly talking about just the Mac SE in this post, I will be facing the same issues with the se/30 but not there yet. Right now I want the SE (I grew up with it) to have all the games I used to play on it. Is 24 bit addressing necessary for the Mac SE w/ 4mb ram?

Any other game recommendations?

How bout a favorite program for testing ram?
