Here is some clarification of my earlier posting regarding differing
virtual memory capabilities for the IIcx and the IIci.  According
to the June MacUser, regarding how much virtual memory your Mac can
use, "The rule is 14 megabytes minus 1 megabyte for each NuBus card.
For the SE/30, that means 14 megabytes; forthe Mac II, which has at
minimum a video card, no more than 13 megabytes can be used.  The
exceptions are the IIci and IIfx, on which VM will simulate nearly a   
gigabyte of memory, if you've got the disk space."  These statements
refer to the virtual memory capability which will be made available
by System 7.0, whenever it may be released.  I don't know what
hardware differences exist that allow the IIci and IIfx to do better
than the other macs.  Does anyone know if the limitations for
Connectix' Virtual are the same?
