Another advantage of the Mac IIci over the IIcx is its more extensive
virtual memory capability. The IIcx can use a maximum of about 13MB
of virtual memory, but the IIci can use as much as you have available
on your hard disk.

With a 32-bit clean system (which the fabled System 7.0 is reputed to be), both systems can use as much virtual memory as you have space on your hard disk. With current systems, neither has any virtual memory at all (I don't know what the third-party products support...) -- Matthew T.

To the best of my knowledge running under System 6.0.x, all Macintosh's have the same virtual memory capcity. From Apple: none. From connectix upto 14mb - 1mb for each occupied slot. Having virtual memory is a function of what size Address space the OS supports and if you have an PMMU. I don't know of any difference between the IIci and IIcx that would affect their virtual memory capabilities. I'm just a software person so I might be missing something in regards to the different hardware on the IIci. I welcome any corrections from inside or outside of Apple on this subject. -- daveo@apple.com David M. O'Rourke "Hey where'd you learn to shoot like that?" ...
