That is almost one hundred percent faster.  That means your programs will take
half as long to find a lousy move or a great move.  Don't think that it will
play twice as strong.

These fast processors are great for programs that are now good at 40/2 but not
at blitz.  Get it and then kick yourself for not waiting eight months for the
1500 MHz processors. You could wait until then and get a far-out discount on
archaic 800 MHz equipment.

Coupled with an ultra fast 32 Mbyte video board you will have a hell of a game
machine if you decide to buy the 800 MHz Thunderbird.


What would say if I told you that in five years we will have 8000 MHz equivalent
machines and 200 GByte memory storage devices.  Standard RAM will be
2048 MByte.  Screens will  be flat panel 25 inch with a refresh rate of 300 Hz
and display up to 4096x1600 with far better contrast than todays monitors.
