I have the upper end 755cx and as far as I remember, you can't upgrade
internally... You need a special module that hangs off the telco jack
(or whatever port the lower end 755cx has) on the left side.
Also, I think the DSP mod has the SVGA display so there might be some
internal differences that would preclude the internal upgrade.
Then again, this is from memory and subject to error.
