I bought the original Deep Fritz and it claimed "80%" speedup... but I've yet to see it do anything even close to that figure on my dual Athlon. Only once someone independent of ChessBase verifies the performance will I consider buying Deep Fritz 7. Unfortunatley I've found it unwise to buy on ChessBase's claims alone. However, having said that, hopefully it will indeed turnout to be a good improvement, and will justify its purchase for those of us that already have Fritz 7. Gordon
