This sounds very impressive John.
I will first start to upgrade my INTERNET machine before I upgrade my
two autoplayers.
Maybe an overclocked 266 makes more sense because it spares money, that
can be put into more senseful things.

I will tell in CCC when it works, or not ! :-))
Thanks for your answer.
I like AMD too and have 3 AMD machines (2x k6/200, 1x k5/100).
But AMD needs to know that it should support us for championships.
We have to convince them. Thats THEIR possible way of getting an area
to show that they can compete Intel and other companies. Where else
could they show so easily that their cpu's are ok, if not in
computer-chess?
