Looking at the Chessmaster 6000 FAQ, it seems that Chessmaster 6000
performs its own benchmark at launch to estimate its rating on your
platform. This should let us get a feel for how Chessmaster likes the
various computer architectures (Athlon, PIII, etc).
Please post the rating it comes up with on your machine
(and what the make and MHz of your CPU is).
On my Mac 7300/180 (180 MHz 604e) Chessmaster 6000 Mac rates itself 2538.
(To see this rating, (on the Mac version - I presume the PC version is
similar (I got this tidbit from the PC FAQ for Chessmaster) go to:
Game: Game Details: Personality: and scroll to the top of the list
and read the rating listed under "Chessmaster")
Hopefully, we'll get a good sampling of values, and I can make up a table.
Thanks!

Note: The FAQ says this rating is based on the CM5000 SSDF rating on a P90.
It will be interesting to see how this self-rating of CM6000 compares
to the value the SSDF got when they actually testing CM6000 on
a Pentium 200 MMX.
