Go up one level in this thread


Like I said Vince, throw me any EXE you want, and I guarantee the plain 'ol exe
off Hyatt's site will beat any Crafty EXE you can give.

I used the beloved Intel 5.0 to build an exe for the AMD, and it was still
slower.  And everyone knows, you CANNOT get a faster exe than that.
