Go up one level in this thread


Follow Dan's advice, its a good one.
Don't think about the Pentium IV (unless Intel releases one at 5GHz at 200
dollars).
When the first specs for the PIV appeared on the web I red that the PIV has the
integer processing units running at 2x, so if you have a PIV at 2GHz then those
units run at 4GHz. I thought at the time this was the best thing that could
happen to computer chess and that AMD was finished unless it would come up with
something similar. Turns out that I was wrong and the PIV is very slow in
integer processing and so a donkey at playing chess (and checkers).

Best regards,
Alvaro Cardoso
