I recently obtained a IIci for my boss. I ordered a video card,
thinking I had to have one as with my Mac II. When it arrived,
I was told that I didn't have to have it because there was
built-in video capability on the mother board but that the
machine would run about 15 percent faster if I had an external
video card because it would remove the video load from the
mother board processor and memory. If so, that would appear
to be a simpler solution to speeding up the IIci than to
have to juggle programs and their memory allocations to get
them to run in a particular bank
