The first 68ks actuslly topped out at 16mb due toonly 24bit adressing. But the later revisions solved this. If anyone has a Mac Classic I beleive they can have 128mb of mem and use the 68040 or 050.

Oh no. Apple never went beyond the '040, and the Classic in particular was a very crippled design (pretty much a rereleased original Mac, but with a 68000 and one megabyte of RAM), as were most of their 68k machines except for the IIs, the Quadras, some of the Centrises, and the SE/30. A lot of the Performas use the low range 68k chips with the MMU and FPU disabled (basically the 'full versions' that didn't pass all the tests and so were sold with some components disabled at a lower price). Motherboard designs further limited the amount of memory to 10MB in some cases, and you certainly won't get a Classic to recognise 128 MB RAM (you're thinking about the SE/30 there, which is quite a capable machine and supposedly runs BSD quite well).
