(b) Isn't the resulting system memory (1Mb - 640*480 bytes) pathetically small? So doesn't that mean you must buy 2Mb of memory to use the built-in video? I wonder if the built-in video is cost effective AT ALL on the IIci?? Or is it just a heck of a lot faster than any Nubus video cards on the market?
