When playing long (WinBoard) matches on each of my two computers, my newer computer (Pentium 3), gives a considerably better score for my new program version than my older computer, which has a Cyrix P166 processor. I tried to compensate for the slowness of the latter machine by allowing it to think longer. Has anyone an idea how serious I should take the rather disappointing results on this older machine? I know very little of hardware, but I could imagine, for example, that this Cyrix P166 is particularly bad in 64 bit operations, so that switching from 32 bit to 64 bit (bitboard) operations might make the program stronger on the newer machine but weaker on the older one. Could this really be the case? Leen
