- Do yourself a favour, if you've already got a Q700, run it on that. I
- have
- a Q700 at the office with 20MB and a IIcx at home, also with 20MB. The
- difference in speed is BIG! It gets tedious waiting around for the cx
- sometimes (but it could be that I'm just a little on the anal side...).
- By
- The time you get around to putting in an ethernet card for the IIci and a
- video card to run a 16" monitor (which makes life in A/UX a dream) you've
- nearly got yourself up in the Q700 price range.
