- Yes and No... You will gain 1MB of ram with the addition on an 8-bit NuBus
- card, but it doesn't really speed up the computer to a noticable degree (I
- tested this on my IIci with Speedometer!). I suggest you do this though! Not
- only will you gain another Meg of memory for about $100 (used), but you will
- be able to use the ShareWare Control Panel "MaxAppleZoom" to increase your
- display to 701 x 512!

- Good Luck,
