My two favorite drinks. Crystal Geyser brand water and Lime flavor Carbonated water from California. Both are very good tasting. Once you drink these you will not like any other type of water.

Yes, it looks the same. Then it should work. For a 33mhz BUS CPU try the “Pentium OPD” jumper setting I have the computer stored away in my garage or I would check. In the photo above that is a standard intel 486dx-50 CPU The jumper are set for that and NO Cache.

See my posts above with the manual white pages. It shows the jumper settings for 486dx2. Use that jumper setting for 33mhz. CPU Or maybe it was the Pentium overdrive CPU setting. You need to switch the jumpers for 286kb of cache too when used. See photos above. Update: Actually, your motherboard is …

I have 3 or 4 Thinkpads 755 and I think I can make 2 good working ones out of these. Well I know I have two good working ones. Maybe I can make 3 good working ones. What I really like is the Dock. Which has a CDROM drive and supports an ISA sound card.
