I used a Tyan Board. I think in USA 150$, in Germany under 300,-- DM ! RAM is in Germany at the moment not very expensiv. 128 MB for 130,-- DM. You can buy here an Dual System for 2.500,-- DM ! 2x Pentium III 800 MHz Tyan Dual Board 256 MB Ram ATI graphic card is good for chess ! 20 GB harddisk is enough ! But you have right ! Not all programs have an Autoplayer or Rebel Century is running under DOS. I hope Ed make a Windows / Engine version ! Good news, that SSDF testers will buy a dual system ! When the SSDF have questions about the Tyan CD, only an eMail to me ! I have a good dealer ! Best Frank
