Memory and Upgrade in General

Forgive me, I'm not very familiar with Mac and have had little luck in my searchs...I have acquired a Power Mac 6100/66 and it currently has 16MB RAM. I need more. What am I looking for specifically as I know my PC Ram but not MAC and don't want to make an error. Also it's got 7.5 on it. Can I upgrade this machine to 8.0 version?
Thanks Doreen

Hmm, it dropped this off the first post.

Short answer:

You can have up to 72Mb of RAM (8Mb on system board, supports up to two additional 32Mb Simms (72pin))

System 8 is listed as supported.

Both comments received were helpful and excellent, so I felt obligated to honor the first response with the points.

Were that the case, I would've gotten the poins. It's OK though...

It appears that way, however it may not be the way he received it in his box.
There was no answer when I posted. If you feel wronged, let me know and I will transfer the points.

Gee, sorry you all...didn't mean to cause such dialog :) Is there any way to split points in the event this happens again? Doreen

Don't worry about it, you got the answers you needed and that's all that really matters.
