the hammer is basixcally a non-starter. AMD had its brief moment in the sun in 2001 and it is still basking in its warmth. One reasson why intel is so dominant iss because they learn from mistakes while AMD tries to revel in its past glory. The AND hammer is probably just vaporware and i doubt that it will ever be able to beat intels pentium4. they are still struggling to release an XP 2200 http://www.theinquirer.net/06060203.htm chessbase knows this well and thats why almost 98% of the time they have stucjk to intel. rajen On June 06, 2002 at 12:15:53, Aaron Gordon wrote: >I'm contacting Chessbase reguarding the system they are using.
