Introduction and the TP700c



Hello:

I'm new to this list as I have just become a ThinkPad owner, so I 
hope that the questions that I have are appropriate. I also am not a 
computer expert so bear with me.

I have been given a used TP 700c by the company to do with as I 
please. Unfortunately we can't find the user's manual but I know that 
the only upgrade to it has been to add memory so that it now has 16 
meg and to change the O/S to Windows 95.

The questions that I have are:

First, is it worthwhile to upgrade the processor. I have seen on 
IBM's website something called the Blue Lighting which is 75mhtz. Is 
this a good upgrade or are there other vendors who offer a better 
alternative?

Second, I can't seem to get the display to go above 16 colours. I 
found that IBM has a 256 colour driver for the 700c unfortunately it 
doesn't work in Windows 95. Is there a driver somewhere else that I 
can use or should I consider getting a new video board. If a new 
video board is the answer can anybody tell me of a good board to buy.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank You

Ian Caldwell
