TP 701C & 560 - scales 320x200 video modes to 640x480?
560 info:
There is a command/function sequence to make standard VGA and 640x480
fit full screen, but it does not look too good (IMHO). I think you will
have to judge for yourself, depending on the game you want to play.
I play DOS games on my TP560-133 with no problems. I would suggest that
you get the newest VESA SVGA drivers from SciTech (previously univesa).
You may also consider purchasing a SCSI PC Card with a SCSI CD-ROM for
best game play of the newest games.
Not sure about a place for memory, but I would suggest sticking with
major brands like Kingston and Viking.
