RE: thinkpad 350c from 486/25 t0 486/100?



The TP350 uses a 486SL   . There is NO upgrade path for the
SL series. Sorry!  As one who also uses a Compac Concerto (pen)
this is truly sad.

> A 486/25 changed to 486/100 is a 4 x speed difference. wow!

I hate to keep harping on this, but even in the best of circumstances
you won't see this kind of speed increase.  (However, if possible a
switch on your machine to, say, an AMD586-100 is more of a benefit than
a similar swap on the 701, since I believe your 486/25 has no internal
cache, unlike the cpu on the 701.)
