6a, but I think the estimate is good for all 6x versions,
again, this is not exact and may vary slightly based on 5x, 6x versions
and Intel (PII, PIII, P4) or AMD athlon hw.  Memory (Fritz can
utilize a lot of memory) and bus speed can also influence the final
benchmark.

I have seen postings here that range from .88 to .98 range or about
10% difference.  If you are shopping for HW, the best move is to try
Fritzmark at the store before you buy (highest fritzmark/price).  If
you are considering SW, try the free demo at the Chessbase site and
compare to other Demo's (Rebel is a great choice as are others from the
different sites (see the resource section of CCC), free programs such as
Crafty are also good to compare to, I play several comercial programs
(Fritz6,CM6K, Rebel) and Crafty myself.  :)

If you are trying to optimize, then free up resources and run the
fritzmark, anything in the range above is good and my be maximum
for your system.

Just my 2 cents, I am no expert.  :)
