First - sorry for the blank post - that was in advertant mouse click. Of all the non-chess benchmarks, the integer benchmark is the most closely correlated to chess. That is because most chess programs are integer intensive processing. When I buy a system, I just look at the integer bench marks - I could care less about the others. Mike
