I will change hardware. I am after the Athlon-650 at the moment. I don't
think the Athlon-650 will run faster than the K6-III-600 I am having now.

I also think book preparation must be done better as the Benko-gambit line
was not good for Rebel, too much strategic involved. I am not so optimistic
anymore than I was after the 2 nice draws.
