I thought that Deep Juniour was the only >program (commercial) that could take advantage of such an architecture?! So, >why run Fritz on it? Because it is not the commercial version. Fritz ran in a quad also in the last WCCC almost one year ago. The commercial version does not run in a quad not because the programmers cannot take advantage of a quad but probably because the customers are not interested in programs that can use a quad because they have no quad. There is another commercial program that can take advantage of a quad(Diep) but if you are interested in buying a program with a quad then Deep Junior is probably better. Uri
