We both ran the Crafty benchmark, and my K6-3/450 was 34% faster than his K6-2/400. Perhaps everybody could re-run the TSCP test, and search a bit deeper, say 7 or 8 plies. The problem with 6 is that the test is over in 3-4 seconds - I think we will get more reliable results with a longer test... --Peter
