This is something that has stuck with me for a long time. I'm guessing since sometime in the late 90s.
The claim was that having more than one MB of RAM in a Mac Plus could cause overheating issues. I don't remember if this pertained to general usage or usage in a server environment as, way back then, my FirstClass BBS initially ran on a Mac Plus. Seems to me, however, they were talking about general usage and not just when the machine was running 24/7.
At any rate, that tidbit of info has long stuck with me. I currently have two Mac Plus systems that have more than one MB of RAM. I think one has 2.5 MB and the other has 4 MB. I have a Kensington System Saver on both of them, so overheating shouldn't be a problem and neither one is running 24/7 anyway.
Bottom line is that I am curious if that is true or not because I haven't seen many people mention it as a problem.
