Dear Ali,

Just subtract 60 to 70 elo points for every halving of processor speed.

If program X is 2600 at 2000 Mhz then at:
1000Mhz it is 2530
500Mhz        2460
250Mhz        2390
120Mhz        2320
60Mhz         2250
30Mhz         2180
15Mhz         2110
8Mhz          2040
4Mhz          1970
2Mhz          1900
1Mhz          1830

This is only a guess.  You must realize that big programs may not even run on
old hardware.  As you can see it is possible to get a good game with very slow
processors.

Do you intend to slow your processor clock to nil in order to make it last
longer?  Maybe slower is better.
