Yes.

> The SS5:   1 ram simms 501-2471-78001688 (what size?)

See above.

>            2 ram simms 501-2470-xxxxxxxx (what size?)

8M...

Send card P/N...

P/N?

Yes, any order, you would have 32+32+8+8, or 80M

> The SS10:  4 ram simm 501-1785  (what size?)
>            4 ram simm 501-2273  (what size?)

All 16M, for a total of 128M

SM30 33MHz CPU, no cache.

PN for the video card?  If there was a fan-covered chip on the MB of the
SS5, it may very well be a 5/170, a good system indeed.  They actually
have cache!

Slow.  I'd get a faster CPU for the SS10.  I might have a HS 90 kicking
around...

Toss the SS4, they suck worse then death.  Get 2.2.5 or higher PROM for
the 10.  get more RAM for the 5....
