I say internal... If you have at least 4Mb RAM.  It is also more and more
preferrable if you have 8Mb RAM or use less than 8-bit color.  As the
MacWorld shows, at 1-bit, the internal *flies*.  They didn't cover the
add-more-memory-to-Bank-B-to-avoid-memory-contention-so-you-get-a-speedup-
without-a-cache-card trick.  And it does seem somewhat redundant to have
an 8-bit color system sitting unused and taking up an extra slot :-).  After
all, you paid for that internal color...
