Jorge,

While I am (only!) interested in the speed of chess programs I have to disagree
that they are better than Q3 for general benchmarking.  Chess programs measure
the performance of three elements of a system - raw integer processing speed,
cache size/speed and general memory speed.  There are other elements such as
floating point ability and graphical performace which are not tested by the
chess programs but are utilised by Q3.  Finally, hard disk / file access
performace isn't really measured by either (I don't consider TB access a
definitive test).  So I'm happy to see a Q3 FPS but I'd also love the see a
FritzMark or Crafty nps score as well!!

Regards,

Streve
