Hi Steve and to everyone on the Thinkpad mailing list- Since I was in the market for a Thinkpad, I subscribed to this list a week ago to get some info. It seems to be an excellent source of information. Yesterday I received my 701C. It has the Dx4-75MHz CPU, 24 MB RAM, and 540 HD. I installed Win95 last night, and was expecting a big slowdown. To my suprise, the performance is excellent. I couldn't be happier. Now Steve, to your question. After the Win95 install, I downloaded the driver from Chips and Technologies. They are listed as 'new' in the display settings. They seem to work great without any problems. I had also used them previously on a Zenith Z-STAR EX, and they worked without a hitch. Try them; if they don't solve your problem then call IBM. I just have to say what an excellent machine this 701C is. After lusting for one for over a year, I am finally happy. Hope this helps...
