it all depends upon what brand memory you have in the older TP-600..
if it is a major manufacturer, then they MIGHT swap it out, if not, then you are
SOL.. :-)

if it is GoldenRam or Apricorn they would surely swap it, IBM, not likely,
Kingston, not sure.. crucial ? well, also not sure..

i need to do more research on this, but these should work..
AND, FWIW, Apricorn has the same part for the entire 600 line..

so, as i said before, get good memory, not unbranded stuff.. :-)
