While it is true that HA 732 might like the Pentium processor a bit more, in general the faster a processor can do integer arithmetic, the faster it will run chess programs. It is not fair to compare early AMD processors with Intel. The L2 cache was not directly on AMD's chip until the Athlon-Thunderbirds. SO if you are asking what will be fastest, the AMD 1.2 with 266-DDR will be my guess. Anything running on even a P2-200 will beat the pants off most any of us on this board. And before you ask, a AMD-1.2 will be faster by a LOT, than a P4-1.5 !
