Apple has recently changed the part number for the 8 bit video card for the
Mac II. The new version is different from the old version.

I have the choice of getting a Mac IIcx with the old video card, or waiting
for the new video card - whenever it comes in.

What is the difference between the old and new? Does the new card
provide better reliability? Is it a better design? Or is it just a different 
color?

Does anyone know the difference?
I'm willing to wait a few weeks if I am going to have less problems 
after the warranty
