Greetings,

  Some of you may remember that I posted that I was planning to buy a IIcx.
Well, I've now been offered a competitive price on a IIx.  Is there any
difference between these two machines (besides the obvious:  6 slots)?  If so,
what?  Things like:  socketed vs. unsocketed chips; ROM on SIMM or soldered or
socketed; relative speed; expandability (not by slots, but by chip/board
swaps); power supply robustness; durability; etc. come to mind.

  Send me email if you don't want to clutter the net, and I'll summarize.

Thanks,

--Mike
