Mr Hyatt. i have read the posts here about deep fritz and its kns increase with two processors. from the info i have seen with my dual machine, i have become curious about something. below are the examples with difference in hardware. program A on single processor 1500 mhz 1400 kns program A on dual processor 3000 mhz 2000 kns program B on single processor 1500 mhz 1400 kns program B on dual processor 3000 mhz 1400 to 1500 kns my question is only about the chess software. not the hardware. not the ram. not the hash. is it possible with these smp programs that something else going on in the chess software, that you can comment on. in other words if this kns is accurate and a true value (that deep fritz is giving us), then is it possible the program is doing something else with this second processor that will not show a kns increase but will add to its strength. the reason for this question is that when i run task manager in windows 2000, it shows that the program is using the second processor with deep fritz as much as my other smp programs (90 to 100%) but it shows no increase in kns. kburcham
