Hi,
I recently bought a 755c, the DX2-50 model, and what I was wondering
is, has anyone tried fitting an AMD 5x86 chip in this or any other
Thinkpad. I know it -should- work, at 100MHz, as the existing chip is a
3.3v 486SL chip with a 25MHz external bus. However, I'd like to hear
>from anyone who has tried this (or any other overdrive-type chip) before
I shell out a fortune on having it fitted.

Also - what is the maximum capacity internal hard-disk on the TP755? I'm
currently using a 540MB but it's a bit restrictive for running Win95
-and- Linux.

Finally - roughly how much should I expect to pay for a secondhand Dock
II? I've been offered one but I don't know if the price is any good.

Thanks in advance,
        Angus Hewlett
