To the best of my knowledge running under System 6.0.x, all Macintosh's
have the same virtual memory capcity. From Apple: none. From connectix
upto 14mb - 1mb for each occupied slot.
Having virtual memory is a function of what size Address space the OS
supports and if you have an PMMU. I don't know of any difference between
the IIci and IIcx that would affect their virtual memory capabilities.
I'm just a software person so I might be missing something in regards
to the different hardware on the IIci. I welcome any corrections from
inside or outside of Apple on this subject.
