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.
