Subject: What Computer I Should Buy For Playing Chess? I Need Advice.

I plan to purchase a new high-end personal computer in the near future. I want
to acquire the best personal computer for playing chess seriously, but I have
been having a hard time deciding which one is the best to buy. Buying a very
good personal computer is no easy task. Besides, I already own Fritz6, Junior6,
and Hiarcs7.32. Also, I consider about Deep Shredder5.

I consider several brands of personal computer - IBM Compatible - as follows
below:

1. Compaq (Is CPU very fast?)

2. Packard Bell

3. Dell

Should I buy only Pentium III 1000 MHz or faster? If yes, why?

Is Pentium 4 not worth for the strongest chess software?

Do Deep Fritz, Fritz6, Junior6, and other ChessBase friends always run on
Pentium III faster than on Pentium 4?

I will use a new PC for both playing and analyzing in chess, of course.

Please advice me.

I would appreciate your help a great deal. :-)

Thanks in advance,
Eran
