Just to show you the difference of AMD K6 III 450 over Pentium II and III I have these Fritzmark figures with F6a and 64 MB hash: PII -333 320 KN/S PIII-500 475 KN/S PIII-550 515 KN/S AMDK6 II 450 452 KN/S AMDK6 III 450 480 KN/S As you can tell there is a big advantage in hardware when you pit Crafty 17.07 against Fritz 6a using a PII-333 the difference is enourmous exactly 160 KN/S more. PS: Again if you want a fair comparison test you need to get a Pentium III 500 which is almost as fast as an AMD K6 III 450 Mhz.
