Actually that was the 133 MHz model, the 120MHz model *did* have >a wide slot and appeared to the eye IDENTICAL in all respects to a 760CD. > Ahhh! This would make sense, since we were told the model we were getting would be the 120 mhz model, even though their WWW site only mentions 133 mhz models (I was confused on that point). Having said that, here are the main differences as enumerated by a very helpful person on their information line: The 760CD is VESA/120mhz/1MB video ram standard/8MB RAM standard. The 760ED is PCI/133 mhz/2MB video ram standard/16MB RAM standard. But wait, I asked you about the 760E, right? So what's the difference between a 760E (with the CD-ROM) and a 760ED? The difference is... ...the 760ED can do MPEG, has the video in/out jacks (presumably NTSC-to-TV), etc. Nuts! That's why we wanted the 760CD! Looks like it might be time to go to the back of the line...since they're not making 760CDs anymore. They may still be in stock at various places, but they're not making them anymore (making 760EDs instead). Thanks to you all for your help, especially about the "deep" version.
