First from what I saw of a previous post of yours The version you are using is the original DJ not patched. I did post a question about it which went unanswered. IMHO that version cannot compete against Deep Fritz on identical single (as the SSDF use) cpu hardware. The statement never was "DJ only runs on dual". AFAIK the statement was simply that Junior 6 and Deep Junior are in effect the same program with one optimized to run on a dual processor. Therefore Junior 6 would produce about 20-30% more NPS and therefore would be stronger on a single cpu. In the case of Fritz 6 and Deep Fritz these are two totally different programs. Giving Deep Junior the "boost of todays hardware," would also boost other programs. I did not check archives but I think Amir may have written on this topic before as you must assume were it better than Junior 6a on a single cpu Amir would have made sure the SSDF tested it. Sarah.
