You seem to be missing the point that Deep Fritz can run on 1-8 processores and
Fritz and the tigers don't have that option, i think that is where the "extra"
35 $ is spend: SMP compatability.
I am pretty sure that if you ran Deep Fritz on the fastest hardware out there
with 8 processors, there would be more tan 3 rating points between them!!
