They are stronger than hitech.
Hitech was probably a program at the same level of Fritz3(p90) inspite of the
fact that fritz3(p90) is slower in nps.

Programs of today are also faster than hitech in nps.

I believe that the best pc's of today are also better than all the mainframes of
the 80's even if they are not faster in nps.
