"the truth" is that cstal is a slow program and needs a fast machine or longer time controls. runs perfectly on a k6-3 or amd thunderbird. not good on duron. anything with a big cache makes cstal into a killer. >Or maybe CSTAL will come back to life when >the 100 gigahertz processors come out. 1 gigahertz amd thunderbird is fast enough. >If I sound sarcastic yes >it's because I was >very disappointed he dropped it. its there. try it out on a 1000 mhz and you will see what i mean. > I purchased the program and liked it very >much. It just couldn't fly with all the extra weight of knowledge. a bird needs to run to fly. if it is lazy (slow prozessor) it cannot fly. same for a plan. give it a k6-3 or a thunderbird and it flies, no matter how much the weight is. >Jim
