Hi Jonas,

and you have to add that in most cases the AMD 1900+ will fully outcalculate the
P4 2.0 GHz for chess software... There are very less chess programs which run
better on the P4... (IIRC TSCP is one of them, maybe that is why Tom is talking
about the P4 to be better for chess...) I really don't know any commercial chess
software that is faster on P4 then on AMD...

Greets, Thomas
