It is my understanding that your own computer will increase the rating strength
of your chess program by approx. 40 elo points with each DOUBLING of your
processor speed.
If this is true with the Pentiums, how does this apply to the Athlons since they
get more instructions per clock cycle than do the Pentiums?
Thank you all for your information. It is greatly appreciated!
