It would have to be tested to see what effect it would have on a chess
program.
I would guess 10% or less. If you are buying a new computer I would get
a 100 bus. If you already have one there dose not seem to much advantage
in upgrading to one. The next generation computers plained should be
much more exciting for chess programers. With AI 64 chips and 128 bit
buses with mhz speeds over 200.
This computer should hit the market in the year 2000. Just a short 1 1/2
to 2 years away.
