Nonsense? Hardly. First off, what does it hurt? You seem to be acting as if the testing itself harms something. It clearly does not. It adds information to our 'knowledge set', and informs a consumer that, if you are using a single-processor box, you probably should *not* get Deep Fritz. I'm glad I now know that. Had this testing revealed that DF was *better* on a single processor, you would not have complained, because the consumer would then be able to buy a better program, and this added knowledge would help him receive a stronger program. Had they tested DF and found it better on a single processor, would you have objected to the test then? So how can the *testing* be bad, when it's only a particular result that you don't like? The only way to find out is to test. The testing was done, and we now have more information than we did before. How can that *possibly* be bad?I'm glad it was done, and appreciate the time and efforts of the testers. Chris
