The Mac IIci can have 1MB in bank A and 4MB in bank B.  This is the first
Mac that is "smart enough" to do this.  This situation is highly desirable
in the Mac IIci.  You can put 1MB of memory in bank A to use mostly as
video memory (with the cycle stealing), then have 4MB in bank B that can
be used at full-speed (assuming you use the built-in video).
