The context is supply and demand. If there is a substantial demand then it's possible (economically sound) to adjust a product range to a specific consumer profile. That is rarely the case with chess software, which has a tendency to expand in features (target groups) instead. But to return to the Gandalf question. What is the information that you're lacking? The idea that better hardware increases performance is hardly new. Mogens.
