cars are different from computers. for computerchess the processor is
like 95% of the performance. Nowadays fast memory also is a 5% of the speed
or so.

Video speed doesn't count simply. Even the most idiotic $25 card is
fast enough.

Sound chip doesn't count.

and so on. in short the only interesting thing is the speed of the
processor, only followed at a huge distance by memory speed.

Also your machine is a single cpu machine, so it's not even a ferrari,
it's a nissan micra at most.

A real machine is a dual K7 MP1900 or MP2000 machine!!

Best regards,
Vincent
