I think your memory is as bad as you claim mine is...

Again, you can make statements, >but >they have no basis in fact. 1995 in Hong Kong, people were running on P5/90's. The hottest micro was a 100 (Fritz, I believe). 1995 in Paderborn, the supplied machine was a P5/120, and the hottest machine (Lang's) was a P5/133. 1996 in Jakarta, I believe the supplied machine was a 133, but I can't remember. The 200 mhz P6's had been out for a while. That is what I took there. This was the hottest machine at the event. The 1997 Paris event I used an Alpha that had been cooled and overclocked to 767 mhz. Crafty ran on a 500. Shredder ran on a 533 that I brought. The supplied Intel (actually AMD, I think) machines were 233's, but 300's existed. If you want a 1997 machine, you should use a single processor 533 mhz alpha, or a 300 mhz Pentium II. I don't think that you were SMP in 1997, but I could be wrong. Getting into specific factual arguments with Vincent is only slightly less unwise than getting into arguments with Vincent over matters that cannot be proven. bruce
