Not quite net rumor...this was from one of the design engineers
I bumped into on comp.sys.laptops. The display for the 701 can
also have 256K colors as opposed to the 64K colors in the rest
of the thinkpad line.
On a slighly different note, do the 760's have a 32-bit memory
architecture? I noted that they take the SO-DIMMs which are
only 32-bit wide, but you don't have to add in two at a time as you
do with a Pentium desktop because the Pentium bus is 64-bit. My
suspicion is that the cache to Pentium portion is 64-bit but the
main memory to cache part is only 32-bit.
In case anyone else is wondering, the 760 uses a Trident graphics
chip.
