[This has been posted here before. The LCT solution times might be more
reliable than the Fritzmark scores, the Fritz 5.01 engine ought to be
the same you get in the CBM63 update, so maybe you could post some
scores for your AMD to check the correlation LCT II / FritzMark? I have
used only 12MB hash tables in case your machine doesn't have 128MB RAM
...]

Fritz 5 gets 241000 Nps in the long Fritzmark benchmark on my P233MMX
(with 98304KB hash tables). That translates to a long/FM of 202.

With 98304 KB hash, total solution time for Fritz is even better: 1.24
times faster on my P233MMX than on the same machine with 12288 KB hash.
