Subject: Upgrading Thinkpad 750C

I have a Thnkpad 750C - 486-33SLC; 10.4 active matrix; 8 MB RAM (4 onboard
and 4 MB IC-DRAM card); 170 meg HD; PCMCIA fax/mod card.

I am running WIndows 95 on the above which, as you can imagine, is very
slow.  I cannot upgrade the processor.  I run primarily WordPerfect 7 and a
time and billing package so will do some swapping.  My upgrade options are
as follows:

    1.      16 MB IC DRAM for $125
    2.      32 MB IC DRAM for $235
    4.      1.4 GIG HD for $400

Does anyone have any idea what type of performance gains I could expect and
if the difference in performance gains is worth the extra cost of the 32 MB
card?  Any thoughts on whether the total cost of the upgrade (either $525
or $635) is worth the money?

Thanks for the advice.
