I agree with you about the hardware which caused all sorts of opening problems not finding transpositions etc. I think The Deep Thought Software was better than the Simulation software but towards 96-97 matches the software was improved obviously yet the openings and finding transpositions were still a problem. My statement about equal hardware what i mean by that is like playing a match with Hiarcs at 100Kn and Fritz 7 700Kns+ on a 1Ghz system ,you know the speed is made up for in positional knowledge but what if Hiarcs was on some special system and was searching 7million nodes I think it would only be fair that both programs are either searching the same amount of nodes this has it's drawbacks so maybe there needs to be a way to figure this out? You wouldn't pit Deep Fritz on a 100Mhz vs Shredder on a dual 2.2Ghz P4. I think since pentium 90Mhz was the hardware used in 1995 and that places programs within 400elo of a very buggy Deep Blue Program on Deep Thought Hardware, fix the bugs and are the program's going to be within 400 probably not, the only bug i read about was transposition table , and old castling bug fixed prior to 1995 . so the Wchess Game is probably something better to look at than the fritz game ....after all there were no excuses why a commercial program on a measly Pentium 90 is able to draw a 14+ processor Deep Thought. If you consider on a Pentium 90 Wchess at 2231 according to SSDF Wchess drew DBP which means Wchess is within 396elo . The increase for trippling the clock speed is 90 each time for 270elo, Other programs now are much stronger than 2501 on something like a dual 2.2Ghz So Deep Fritz Vs Deep Thought of 1995 is Not much of a Competition if 2231+ 396 =2627 but to really outdistance Deep Thought you would want 200more elo 2827 Deep Fritz on a 8-way 700 would be 2838. Obviously the list is too high i think 167 points too high but that is another topic. That would make Deep Thought in 95 2460 which is way too low So let's say Wchess is 2231 and this is accurate, Then Deep Fritz on an 8-way would still be 2671 and stronger than DT1995. 2-3million nodes would be nice...
