- You didn't mention which model your PS/2s are, but Sigma Data specializes in
- upgrade processors for PS/2s. Upgrades to 33MHz 386SX w/ 64Kb cache for 50s and
- 60s: $335; 50z to same: $335; 25s and 30 to same: $335. You can also get package
- prices if you want to upgrade your memory and drive at the same time. It is
- sometimes easier to get funding for upgrades than buying new computers. These
- CPU upgrades increase speed by 3x. Sigma Data
