Sorry i meant
2.GT
3.CT

You cannot compare hardware like that, Standard TC is Standard TC no matter what
hardware you use. Although i wouldn't be surprised if some engines would do
better on faster hardware and others worse. 40/120+40/60+30 on a Celeron 500 Mhz
is not equivalent to 15 min per game on an AMD 1.4 Ghz.
