I'm in agreement here! :-) Although, Athlons are very (VERY) reasonable and fast for the most part I get Athlons to outperform PIII at the same frequency doing int and fp stuff. If moving big chunks of data then PIIIs are better. hristo > >Eugene > >On April 24, 2001 at 16:31:47, Hristo wrote: > >>On April 24, 2001 at 10:05:26, Robert Hyatt wrote: >> >>>On April 24, 2001 at 08:37:04, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: >>> >>>>On April 24, 2001 at 03:33:29, Trefor Deane wrote: >>>> >>>>>Are all the best Chess Programs only written for the PC,Can anyone please >>>>>recommend any Chess Programs for Apples G4 processor?
