Another suggestion would be to finally upgrade the processor being used to
obtain the SSDF rating to a least an AMD Athlon or Duron with 800 MHz, since
certain programs don't take advantage of a P.C. with a processor lower than 800
MHz like Gandalf and Nimzo 8 which both would ended up higher on the rating
list.
