Kingston and another vendor are selling a 64MB upgrade for the TP 560. I just got a new 2GB/133 560 and am holding out for the 64MB upgrade (72MB total). They are supposed to ship this week... The price was about double that of a 32MB... Anyone purchasing new today should look at the total cost of their investment... \ RAM is cheap compared to what it used to be (9 months ago for laptops), and 72MB on a laptop isn't that far fetched. If you think you could be running Windows 97 or Windows NT Workstation.... the $200 to $400 difference would seem a given... For others, even on Windows 95, there is only one expansion module (and you would have to throw away or sell to get new). A new purchaser should consider the 2 to 3 year lifespan of a typical laptop.... and think about it...
