Geovanny and List: I thought it might interest you that if you go to the Pep Sales web pages you'll see that the upgrade that is available for the 701C DX2-50 is the AMD586-100. I don't know exactly how these compare but my general impression is that it would be about a 30-50% boost - not true Pentium power but a step in that direction. Those of you with more technical expertise than I could probably run the benchmarks. I asked a couple of days ago (via e-mail off the Web site) for a price quote on the CPU-only upgrade (since I've already done the memory myself; and am satisfied with my hard drive). I haven't gotten a reply yet but those of you interested may want to visit the Pep Sales web site since they have a very complete table indicating what upgrades they have for what models of Thinkpads.

I think you would have better results selling, at least to me, you upgrade if you posted some comparison for us to decide if it is worth the money. I appreciate your company's effort to keep the 701 alive.
