I have a TP560-120 and it benchmarks at about an equivalent of a Pentium
90 desktop. A TP560-133 should approximately match a Pentium 100
desktop system.
The TP560 comes with 8MB and can take one memory module at either 8MB,
16MB, or 32MB which gives you memory options of 8MB, 16MB, 24MB and 40MB.
I bought my TP560 with 24MB installed and then upgraded it to 40MB. With
my light use of Photoshop 3.05 on it I didn't notice much difference. I
do most of my Photoshop work on my 64MB RAM desktop since it is a bit more
capable, and that is where my scanner is.. =)
