Yes, there is a 486DX2/50 to DX4/75 upgrade for the Thinkpad 755 C/Cs if you
already don't have the 75Mhz processor installed.
The IBM processor upgrade kit (50/25 to 75/25) is part number 84G2154.
I'm not sure exactly what the price is of the upgrade, how easy the upgrade
is if you can do it by yourself, or if you need to send the machine in.
I am however considering this upgrade for the future, so if you upgrade
please let me know how it went.. cost, time, etc... Thanks.
BTW, has anyone ever tried the ThinkPad TV Tuner option? If so, how is it?
Also, do any Thinkpad 755C/Cs owners know of how to set and save settings
with the audio control through Windows. More specifically, changing the
default and saving settings for the MIDI out, Wave out, Line out, etc. It is
annoying for my machine to start out Windows at the highest volume level.
Changing the setting helps only for the current session and if I reload
Windows, the volume is maxed out again!
Is there a latest version out for audio control that can save settings?
Or is there any other manual way?
