Respect my PC, although 500 mhz is not the top standard, nevertheless is or should be enough fast for every program to show his theeths. Same with the more than 60 Mb in Ram it uses for hashing. Besides, what probes a game at one move a day? For certain I do not need neither I would use a full day just thinking or worried about a move to do. Not possible until the day I have retired of my 5 jobs. And is a program makes good moves at such a pace -even if "only" compute one hour of the day- it does not probe nothing either. Even my gran mother could do a decent move if given such a lapse of time and such a powerful cpu. Else: a perfomance is worth the money in the terms of the purchaser, pal. That cannot be changed even if gandalf in your iron outperforms Bobby Fisher. Regards Fernando
