Of course it shows that you've developed it on Intel's instead of AMD's (in the x86 world). You might not be concious of this, but it's still a choice. If you'd happen to have Athlons instead, you would have wondered why somethings were slow, and tried to improve them. It's not like a program like Crafty cannot be done on Athlons. There are many SMP programs that works better on Athlons than on P4s. Memoryintensive applications too. /David
