Since it seems some people aren't getting the comments I've made on this:
I bought my 8MB upgrade from First Source Int'l. It is manufactured by
Paragon Memory Systems. I paid $387 + $5 S&H + $2 insurance (+sales tax
for California). Their phone number is 800-217-9866. I'm reasonably
happy with the memory. I suspect it may be sucking more power than the
IBM memory but I haven't verified this, and I'm still getting near 4 hours
on my TP750 mono w/ 170MB hard drive. It comes with a lifetime warranty,
a 30-day money back guarantee, and they told me they have no restocking
fee so long as I return it within the 30 days in new condition. I like
the plastic case it came in too. It might come in useful for a PCMCIA
card later on.
The ThinkPad 750, 720, 700 and CL57SX all use the same memory modules.
I've seen some places advertise lower prices for the last, or higher
prices for the first so be careful.
