Hello Uri,
I have seen post by you before like this and I don't agree.  I would like to
know where you get your information.  I'm still running Hiarcs 7.32 on my Athlon
900 mhz machines and it still does very well against other top programs.  For
instance in my "standard" database (G/60 or longer)  Hiarcs 7.32 is right now
ranked tied for 6 place with Chess Tiger 13.0.  It is behind Gambit Tiger
14.0,Chess Tiger 13.0, Deep Shredder and Fritz 6e/6b.  This puts it ahead of
programs like Gambit Tiger 1.0, Shredder 5, CM8K(32M), Junior 6.0 and Rebel
Century 3.0.  This is not a huge database.  It has only 694 games but so far I
see nothing to indicate Hiarcs does not compete with the faster hardware/longer
time controls.
