It's so rare to see Mac chess results. Quite a wide rance of solution times. You don't happen to have ChessMaster 6000 for the Mac, do you? I'd expect it to be weaker than Hiarcs but stronger than Sigma (don't know how it ranks compared to MacChess or Screamer). Also, congrats on your new G4. Are you running or planning to run OS X?
