- I work at the computer store here at UCkI, and work with/demo both the IICk
- and IIvx many times daily. In my experience thus far, the IIvx is noticibly
- faster in every comparison I've cared to make. For instance: running 8bit
- quicktime, the vx is noticibly smoother. In any video-update intensive
- situation, the vs is better. (Thank god for VRAM!) Also, the IIvx was
- a great deal faster in an installation of 1-2-3/Mac that I did the other day.
- These are all PURELY subjective, and no, I didn't use a stopwatch.
-
- I *have* noticed, however, that the vx's speaker seems overmatched by the
- startup sound. It soudns *great* with everything else I've tried, though.
