I'm speaking of the "Fritzmark" as a chess benchmark but it was Apr.1 and there had been someone else posting spoof "Fritzmarks" so I guess people lost interest fast. Too bad, I think your idea is a very good one. FWIW, My platform is Win/98 500MGh._Old_ PIII CPU, 128MB SDRAM with a 100MGh. Bus. If I free up my resources after I reboot and using 64MB for hash, I can get a "Fritzmark" of 324 which equates to 466KN/S. I believe the Athlons at 1.2GHh were hitting about 1,200,000 pos. per sec.
