A IIci can take up to 128 megs, but it's not easy to find the memory.
Also, the memory on the Quadra is much faster, especially when it's
interleaved.

NuBus is NuBus on the Mac - any NuBus cards you find will work in either
machine.

Yes, you can easily have 136 megs of memory with four 32 meg SIMMs and the
8 meg built in.
