AE used to say 16 mb since the design of the hardware could support that much
but I don't think they ever sold addon cards bigger than 2 mb for a maximum
of 3 mb. If the hype about AE's imminent demise that I've read over in the
comp.sys.mac groups is true, none of this stuff will be available much longer.
That's humorous when you recall ads in the old Apple II mags saying stuff like
"don't buy memory today from a company that may be a memory tomorrow." I have
a RAMworks II in my //e with three sets of 256K chips and a set of 64K for a
total of 832K, so the machine has 896K overall. Plus a 1 mb RAMfactor for 
RAM disk action.
