This may sound like a dumb question, but is 8 megabytes the *actual*
RAM ceiling for a IIgs?
I only ask because I recall reading somewhere that you could actually
get 12 megabytes of RAM on a IIgs.
If 8MB is the limit, then I must ask: what happens to the IIgs's RAM on
the motherboard when you install an 8MB card? You would have more than
8MB of RAM total, regardless of what revision IIgs you have. Does it
just get ignored?

There is that, but there's a very practical use for large memory in an
Apple II. I have some fairly large AppleWorks files (databases and
word processors), and with 4- and 8-meg of memory I can work on
several of them at the same time. Can't do that with 1 meg--matter of
fact, AppleWorks 5.1 is a kludge at only that size, even tho it can
run on it. Your desktop is limited with a small amt. of memory!
