It will be difficult if you do not have the manual for the motherboards. Because it depends on total memory the board can access and the max size of memory module.
For 486's memory had to be installed in a bank and each bank was 4 slots. Each memory modules in the bank has to be the same type. 486's used 30 SIMMS (I believe).
The same thing was true of the pemtium except there are 2 slots for each bank and they used DRAM/EDO memory. I believe that there are 16mb DRAMs out there.
If you don't have any free slots then you will need to replace existing modules with higher capacity ones. On some motherboards there were expansion modules you could add.
Don't know where you are located but it might be difficult to find memory for these PC's this old. No retail store will have any. The best bet would be to find an surplus equipment store, go to a swap meet or maybe even ebay.
