(And which Intel processor are you upgrading from?) Having said that, I don't recall any particular chess-related problems with any of those CPUs. Someone else might know better, though. Some programs tend to relatively favour AMD or Intel, performance-wise. If you use only a particular chess engine (instead of many :-) then you might want to bring that up. Dave
