Do you say that quest is 80 elo better because of software or do you say that
part of the advantage is because of hardware?

Remember that SMP is not always better than not smp for example it is clear that
PIII1000 is better than p100*2(I have no idea about the speed of the hardware
that nimzo and quest use because I cannot know speed from the number of mega
herz).
