Some Questions on Chessmaster 7000 Ratings

I wonder if anyone could help clear up a few things for me.  I have Chessmaster
7000 and I am running it on a Pentium 300MHz MMX, 64 Mb RAM.  Chessmaster, the
beareded one, is ranked on my machine as 2571.

1.  Is this FIDE Elo or USCF rating?

2.  How 'true' is this rating?  Does Chessmaster 7000 calibrate its ratings to
allow for the specification of each individual computer, or are the same
rankings, given to the 'computer players', which are on my machine, to be found
on all computers, irrespective of processing power, memory etc.

3.  If this is not a 'true' rating, then what would be for Chessmaster 7000 on
my computer's spec?  Is there a way of working it out, however roughly?

4.  Would the case be the same for Fritz6a, which I also have?  (Although I know
it uses the FIDE ranking).

Many thanks
