Going back to the 8*24GC, why does LEM say the IIcx can't run it in 24-bit colour? With no 24-bit colour in System 6 and no acceleration in A/UX is it really a good idea to get one?

Would a regular 8*24 provide 24-bit colour on the IIcx in System 6? And if so, would the performance difference between it and the GC in 8-bit mode be very noticeable (I'm thinking of this mostly from a gaming approach). With games I'd mostly be in 8-bit mode but I'm sure there will be times when it would be nice to have 24-bit video as an option. The A/UX FAQ only lists compatible 24-bit cards so it's a pretty short list. I'm assuming the RasterOps, Radius 24Xx and PrecisionColor PRO cards would all cost more than the Apple cards.

@olePigeon: A/UX 3 had the System 7-style Finder. There's some screenshots here.
