Slobber! Time to buy a new machine! The ED, which replaces the CD at the top
of the line, is PCI architecture (that's why they need a new docking
station), 64-bit graphis (2MB on board, tho), 16MB on the motherboard with
up to 80MB possible. Full MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, etc. Wow. I've found my
machine. How to find where to buy it. Interestingly, they are available
immediately. I wonder if this is why the 760CD upgrade to 133 wasn't coming
quickly...
