I was debating on running Mac OS 9.1 on my Powermac 6100/66. Is that recommended? I imagine that it would be slow as molasses, even though I maxed out the ram to 72MB and have enough patience to not go insane.
Probably safe to say 136MB is the Unofficial Ceiling. (2x64MB + 8MB) As I can't imagine it being able to hold 2 sticks of 128MB... (Did they even make 128MB 72pin RAM?)Possible Upgrades:More Ram (What is the Unofficial Ceiling?)

May I suggest the Compaq/HP BD07285A25 (73 GB)? It's a Ultra-320 SCSI disk with SCA 80-pin connector, thus you'll need an (inexpensive) adapter (will it fit inside the 6100? I have been able to shoehorn one of these into a LC475).Install Biggest Hard Drive Accepted
I'm going to be using mine in the 6100 as well and in a bracket hacked into my Radius 81/110/G3 as a bonus VidCard if there are enough PseudoSlot IDs to go around for three NuBus Cards along with the LPV! [] ]'>@Trash80toHP_Mini: I will probably use it anyways just for the reason that I have no other machines that work with it (Plus, it will save time, money and trouble, as a good video card is not as big of a deal to me as simply having two of them. If I find it too bad, I will probably add some VRAM).
I have several of these cards, some with the full loadout of VRAM, so why wait? PM me if interested and I'll see if I have a third set of sticks for you.
I note that you later amended that to DVD-RAM, but I just thought I'd mention in case: you won't be able to play DVD movies on a 6100, no matter how upgraded it is.I plan on installing a DVD player
That's a PDS right angle adapter you want, not a Nubus adapter. They are two different parts; the HPV card will not work in the Nubus adapter.Buy a NuBus Riser Card for my Secondary Video Card**: This is a High Power Video Card by the way.
