I don't know why, but the PIII-450 is slower than the K6-2 400 for Chess >Tiger (close to 10% slower!). The K6-2 has much shorter pipelines than the PIII. That makes it significantly faster, but also keeps the clock speeds relatively low. The reason the Athlon may be better than the PIII for computer chess is the huge L1 caches. I suspect the integer core of the Athlon is pretty much equivalent to the PIII's. -Tom
