So you could have at least doubled the time alootment. Uri, but is it not more true about some programs than others? And whatwas the result with 6 min per move? (though I don't see anything special in that at all. Normally I think it often takes longer in middle game, in tournament timed games, and it is not the fastest hardware anymore (I'm sorry to make you feel bad. Athlon 1.2 is still great, and you should stick with it for atleast another year or longer, but statistically, it's not fairest to Hiarcs if Hiarcs is meant to be what we are suggesting, but you can always give even much longer time controls, which would be equivelant to 2-4 Ghz. at tournament timing!).
