If you are talking about the increase of strength in the comp-comp area don't
expect a big jump here. 20-30 elo points, certainly not more. Rebel10 feels
stronger and more stable mainly because of its narrower selective search. So
if this is your main worry don't upgrade.

In the comp-human are I do claim a big elo jump of at least 50-100 elo not
only based on the 5-3 victory against Anand but also on the high quality of
the 8 games and my general feelings about anti-GM. Just one but... only
8 games. Impossible to give a precise elo increase.

SSDF elo, based on a PII-266 (64 Mb) if memory serves me well.
