What is max IIe RAM? 24meg possible? ;-)



Just a minor question for those hardware gurus out there who know the normal
Apple II (not IIgs) system..

The Applied Engineering memory boards can hold 4 or more megs of RAM 
(RamFactor III or similar?) and fit on one slot...

What if we put, oh, SIX 4-meg memory boards into the Apple II? Could the system
handle having 24megs of memory in it? What exactly is the maximum RAM the
system can handle? *wild grin*

Just vaguely curious.. 

Hey, using 24,576K of RAM might allow some pretty interesting things to be
done using that system.. the "multi-media Apple IIe" ;-)
  
==Record and play a 30-minute soundtrack using those cassette port digitizers..
==Watch extremely LOW Quicktime movies using the 80x48 double-low res mode,
  using four levels of gray.. 40 minutes worth of space at 10fps..
==Put all your old games in a RAM disk; never use your floppies (or Hard drive
  for that matter) again!
 
Any other possiblities? ;-)
