Macintosh IIci: Does Not Use VRAM


Is 512K VRAM available on the Macintosh IIci?

The Macintosh IIci does not use VRAM (video RAM), nor can be expanded with
VRAM. The computer uses main system RAM from Bank A of the logic board.

If there is at least 2MB of RAM on the logic board, you will be able to
access the maximum pixel depth for the attached monitor: for a
High-Resolution RGB Monitor set to 256 colors, that amounts to 384K of RAM
taken for video.
