Well, getting any program to be able to "beat most grandmasters" is not easy, if
all you're looking to do is improve your CPU inexpensively. In general, you
should buy the fastest machine you can afford. That is good advice no matter
what you are going to do with your computer.

The machine that we used to beat GM Larry Christiansen in a 4-game match on ICC
was a P4-2.4GHz. You should be able to find one of these for under $700 if you
look hard enough (and don't want too many other extras like a huge hard drive
and a ton of RAM).
