  Hi Mark


  I considered this possibility you mentioned, the only thing that makes me
doubt that it is the chip is the fact, that when I play hiarcs7. in computer vs
computer games on my machine it "destroyes" everything. I beat a friend of mine
who has CM6000 in a six game match, this makes me think it is not the chip.
