Daniel I have two of the computers that you are requesting Info. The Novag
Turquoise has the same program and processor as the Karpov  USCF 2294. But you
can get the Novag Turquoise for $80.00 less than the Karpov 2294. I also have
the Kasparov Chess GK-2100, but honestly I have matched the Novag Turquoise
several times at different time control mainly in 15 and 30 minutes per game and
the GK-2100 doesn't live up to the rating of 2334 since the Novag Turquoise
seems to be a little bit better on my test.

PS: I strongly recommend you to buy a palm handspring 33 MHz for almost the same
amount of money as a GK-2100, but if you overclock it to 54 MHz it would perform
much better than either of these two computers with Chess Tiger 14.7 , plus the
benefit that you can carry it everywhere. If I had bought my Handspring before I
bought these two computers I would have never wasted my money on them.
