Template:Mac specs The Apple Macintosh IIci was an improvement on the Macintosh IIcx. Sharing the same compact case design with three expansion slots, the IIci improved upon the IIcx's 16 MHz Motorola 68030 CPU and 68882 FPU, replacing them with 25 Mhz versions of these chips.
The IIci was the first Macintosh to feature 32-bit clean ROMs, an optional Level 2 cache, and — a first for a non-all-in-one Mac — onboard graphics for an external display. Due to the fact that the built in graphics used the system's RAM for its VRAM, some users used a NuBus graphics card to reclaim the lost memory. For a short time in 1989, before the introduction of the 40MHz Macintosh IIfx, the IIci was the fastest Mac available.fr:Macintosh IIci it:Macintosh IIci
