Thanks for the reply. >If we count different versions and if i would exclude DIEP from that (because >trivially i release sometimes within several days several versions) then i still >would have more than 260 :) Nice. :) Though I only brought that up to show that yes, I am aware that other programs exist :) >those were very old benchmarks. p4 is better now than it is looking there. >that was with the RDRAM. It was in those days 70% slower the P4 than a K7. >That huge diff is no longer the case. I still do not understand why intel went >for RDRAM.

Heh, yes, but I was TRYING to keep this conversation germaine to the original question at the root of this thread. MP's vs Xeons. >Note that Xeon MP ===> $5000 a cpu or so and only 2.8Ghz nowadays. This is like those stories you hear about the US White House where they pay $1000 for a toilet, $300 for a screw, etc... heh >Bloody Nonsense. It only runs the fritz interface.

Ah, this would be where we're confusing eachother. You're talking about interfaces, I'm talking about engines. >Well patriottism has nothing to do with it. AMD is american.

Er, I meant patriotism toward a company, not a nationality. The word patriotism can be applied to anything that people swear allegiance to. Some are patriotic to Intel, AMD, ATI, nVidia, Microsoft, Linux, etc... Me, I'm patriotic to whatever gets the job done :) >Answer is no. > >Note i do not know what RK2003 is.

All the other tournaments are commercially not important. > >Yes all my homepages are died. > >Perhaps i start homepage in september 2003 again or januari 2004. Not sure yet. >Not before that for sure. Disappointing :(. GL with Diep in the future!
