But I can tell you that although my old Turbo King always seemed slightly stronger (in my own tests) than all comers (including Novag Scorpio), when I got Genius 3 on a 386 computer, it beat TK every game without fail.(though novag scorpio was slightly better against Genius 3 than that). But CM8000 might indeed lose (a match) against CM5000, I was suspecting. S.Taylor
