Mac IIfx Address Space

 

Below is the memory map of the Input/Output of the Macintosh IIfx. Noramally, a 32 bit processor can access up to 4 gigabytes of memory, but the IIfx can only physically hold 128 megs of memory. In reality, since the IIfx the only Macintosh that uses 64 pin SIMMs, the number is far less to maybe around 64 megs.
