Hi, I am considering buying the PS/2 Model 77 (the one with the 486 DX2/66). In the advertisment sheet from IBM they say that it is NOT possible to CPU upgrade the model with the 486 DX/2 processor (by replacing the processor). But in the same sheet they mumble something about a processor upgrade of the model 57 (Intel Overdrive) and making it faster than the 486 DX2/66 models. This confuses me. Is it possible in the future to upgrade the 486 DX/2 processor in the model 77 (does the CPU socket have that extra rows for pentium technology)? Or is the only way to upgrade a solution a la AOX Busmaster cards? I would be very thankful for an explaination.
