Greetings .... Luis ------------------------------------- Yes as with All chess engine, CM also does play better in faster hardware, and its much more fun. I used to run my gandalf4.32h on a very slow pentium 400mhz (or somthing like that), I was very dissapointed, then I upgraded to a Celeron 600mhz reasonably better than before, but gandalf still didnt seem good enough. Now running on a Pentium III 1 ghz I can see reasnobale improve in gandalfs strength. Just think how better it would perform on Athlon XP 2000+ ? Even though Pentium 4 1.7 is very fast but not the best buy for its price, you can get a faster processor with less or same price, which are the Athlon XPs. CHess programs also seem to play better on Athlon procesors. Even though i dont have one yet but I am planning to get one very soon. have fun! pavs ps, by the way, how much rating does CM get in your computer? I think the rating of CM (according to the GUI) fluctuates in differant processors.
