Whoever answers this, could they also answer, Which is the best cpu (and setup)
for chess incl. and Esp. playing strength, which is also value for money in
todays market (or will be in the coming weeks)?
  E.G. is it worth waiting until Mustang just comes out, (if I don't want to
wait more than that) or to buy Thunderbirds at a high mhz. at todays price, or
soon?
  Will Mustang be such a great value for money, and the time waiting for it to
come out? Or will it just be very expensive for a time, and add very little to
T-Bird, or Duron, or General Athlon, or k6-3, or Pentium 4, etc?
