Tim,

It is just a best guess but not very accurate.  All of the programs do a little
computation based only on the speed of your processor.  I would not give much
credence to anything over 2550 though. John Merlino could probably tell you
more.   It is really just a marketing gimmick.  I own CM6000 and it is a fine
program but it is no grandmaster.  Too many holes in the knowledge.
