Hello malinglist tp750!
I think there is an upgrade for the 750. There is a company here in sweden that replaces all necessary components in the 750.
The processor they put in is an AMD
133 MHZ pentium or something, and they claim it will get the performance similar to a P75.
Unfortunately I have only have the swedish site.

Håkan Ask from Sweden.
Some info bout me:
I have a 750 C 20M ram 340 M HD aiming at the 760 XD.
I`m a video producer at "Video Tre" in Sweden
I`m planning to use the 760 for pre-editing. For that I guess I will need a docking station. Which one should I get?
