" "Check out L.A. Trade (usually has ads in PC and PC-Computing) who "lists 32MB for $536 for the IBM 701. Their phone number is "1-800-433-3726. I tried these guys today, running a price check. They said outright that the 32MB chip is "very expensive" and quoted me $789! Gene, or anyone else, know what issue was being referred to that had the $536 price listed? Also, has anyone heard a better price than this? I'm going back and forth with a guy who says he'll beat any price, provided I can cite it somewhere like an ad or web page. I'm thinking I might get it for $450, then sell my 16MB chip for $100, so $350 total is not a bad deal to go to 40MB. Btw, I saw an upgrade company that'll bump the processor to a 586-133Mhz for $395 and another that advertises the 586-100 for $348, so I'm trying to decide which to do: processor upgrade or RAM (both would be a bit much, I'd go ahead and get the Toshiba 620CT). How much more bang would going to 40MB give me? epbrown epbrown@enteract.com Laptop Central, home of the Portable Computing FAQ http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown
