I do remember that the Mac SE had room for a whopping 4 MB of RAM. Seems funny now, but considering Bill Gates was telling us that we would never need more than the 640 KB max that his DOS PCs came with, it was a lot. I think the early Macs came with 128 KB, but by the SE model they had upped that to 1 MB expandable to 4 MB, but obviously they wanted to be the ones to upgrade it for you by making it difficult to open.
