It's one more thing you forgot. When I checked almost all programs on AMD K6-2 vs Pentium 2 450mhz. All programs were faster or about equally fast on AMD except for Crafty and Gandalf3. Crafty and Gandalf3 on AMD compares to a P2 on ca: 333-350 mhz. Both Crafty and Gandalf could earn about 30 elo if they used an Intel 450. Bertil
