Dan,  go to  http://www.chessbase.com/Catalogue  and look for Deep Junior 6.

Just remember that you need Windows NT and expensive multiprocessor boards to
run it.  It runs only 80% as fast as Junior 6a on a regular setup.  In other
words you would need to have a machine that costs you at least $3000.00 just for
the computer and another $400.00 or so for the NT operating system. Deep Junior
costs about $100.00 in contrast to $48.00 for Junior 6a  which you can get from
ICD at this site.

I suggest that you leave the multiprocessor stuff to the techno-wizards that
frequent this club.  You and I aren't even in their league.  You will be very
happy with the single processor Junior 6a that runs on Win95/98.  If you are an
expert level chess player it will beat you at least 90% of the time.  You will
not be disappointed.
