Re: CPU Upgrades for 701 model



Thanks to all who replied about likely results of upgrading a TP701 486/75
cpu with one of the AMD K5-133mhz cpu chips.  The consensus is that
considering clock speeds, etc., the upgrade would be equivalent to
replacing the present chip with a 486/100 DX4 chip.  The upgrade thus would
bring about at best a marginal improvement, from 75mhz to 100mhz, which
improvement doesn't seem to justify the $400 cost to accomplish it.

<Sigh>  I really like my little TP701 -- tyhe size, the butterfly keyboard,
the screen (TFT) the weight, etc.  I just wish it ran a little FASTER.....
 Wonder if AMD will ever come out with a 233mhz cpu chip????
