Simple math. Just take Fritz >vs Fritz 5 times faster to understand. That is what SMP means when you >have 8 cpus. Yes, this is very simple math. Let a program play against itself on a faster machine and it will be stronger. The faster program will see everything the slower does and more. I'm just not convinced that an 8 processor Fritz will beat Gambit Tiger. Last year dutch (human) championship has proven that such a Fritz can be killed by experienced players quite easily. It doesn't stand a change against Kramnik. Tony
