I have LC III ('030 25MHz, cachless), knew it's performance
differences except I have no idea about IIci. Most of things is very
similar except for FPU and slots, cache support but how efficient
IIci go? What areas IIci is better at, video? Overall performance?

Mind you, I know IIci specs but feel of this machine in use I don't
know.

Thanks and cheers,
