I don't think there is a chance in hell that a P4 at _any_ clock speed will come close to the 21264 for Crafty. Don't know about other programs, of course. but Tim Mann had a single cpu 21264 at 600mhz that produced close to 1M nodes per second. > >this probably explains some match results. > > >thankyou >If Christope
