Go up one level in this thread


Those of you disbeliever's in regard to Schroeder's choice for a CPU in the
Anand match.  May I remind you that he has been working in a computerized
environment for approximately 25 years and if Rebel can pull off an upset, his
sales will increase dramatically at least in the short term.  So why would he
fudge CPU ratings.  What ever CPU he chooses I will be at least be considering
it for my next upgrade.

BTW I heard a rumour that IBM has a CPU coming soon that is running at 1,000
MHZ.  Imagine running a Quad 1,000 MHZ and having Quad 256 MEG RAM chips.

I am fairly sure this future system due out relatively soon should turn Rebel
into a Micro-Grandmaster.
