Thanks, Larry Woodlock. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think the fritzmark has anything to do with KN/s. It has a set position that it does a timed test on to a fixed depth. So the fritzmark is just a timed test to a fix depth. This way it can take CPU speed and bus speed and hash size into account.
