Hi,

Pentium IV 1.7GHz is not faster then Pentium III 1.13GHz (for the most chess
programs). Programmers can optimize for Pentium IV, but the processor is then
also not very faster.

For computer chess not interesting ...
For single systems is clear the best processor an Athlon 1.4GHz with a good
cooler, like Swiftech ... Athlon 1.4 then with 1.6GHz without any problems.

Best
Frank
