  Is it better for the IIci to have 2 banks of memory
(say 1mb and 4mb) than just 1? I recall reading
somewhere that the built in video will tie up the
memory while it is working, but if its in 2 banks you can use
the other one without interruption. Also, can you specify which bank
(i.e. tell it to use the 1mb, even if the 1mb is the second bank
(assuming that you have to have the 4mb in the first bank as on
the lower macs))? 

  Also, can the Apple color monitor be used with a future 24
bit card when I get tired of 8 bits? IS there a better monitor
for the ci which would (or better anyway)? Thanks

-Rob
