These programs differ very little in playing strength. You need exact results under fair conditions with many games, else you can't tell which is stronger. 2.) If you load a program like IE and Outlook , during the time it loads the program HD-access will basically stop the search. But the clock of the program will keep ticking. If it uses approx. 1 min for one move (not a very short time control) and its a critical position and it only gets 20 seconds effective thinking time ... Sincerely, Georg
