I hope the "85%" is based on actual test figures and isn't just part of some
marketing ploy.  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.
