NOT even close ...RE: p75 performance The 701 is/was a lovely machine but SLOW. I don't have one; but all benchmarks I have seen (mainly PC Mag which tend to be the only meaningfull ones ..sigh) indicated poor performance for it's class. MB is only rated for 25 Mhz so an AMD would only run at 100 Mhz. NO 2nd level cache much less write back. The change in performance from the original DX2-50 to the DX4-75 was amazingly small .... Go visit Ziff Davis . The step to a DX4-100 will be miminal !!! (probably ;-} ) AGAIN don't pay any attention the the Landmark SPEED numbers They mean nothing !!!!! ..peter.. ---------- From: Don B Rich, Jr[SMTP:don@propilot.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 1997 11:48 AM To: tisol Subject: Re: CPU Upgrades - some real world numbers tisol wrote: > > NOPE !! > on the 701 CPU is soldered .... > Min price is at least $400 US.. > Given that the DX4-75 from intel had such a small > improvement over the DX2-50 in THIS machine, it is definitely > not worth it. > ..peter.. > ---------- > From: Don B Rich, Jr[SMTP:don@propilot.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 1997 7:29 AM > To: David Ross > Cc: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu > Subject: Re: CPU Upgrades - some real world numbers > > To David or anyone who might know > Is the $40 self installed chip available for the 701? > Thanks Don > > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Part 1.2 Type: application/ms-tnef > Encoding: base64 Thanks for the info. $400 for what end result?
