Subject: XP and Chessbase Engine

Author: Antonio Palma

I just upgraded my pc (an 1GHz Athlon with 512 Mb) with winxp Home edition and i
did some tests with fritz 7 engine. I have discovered a poorer KN/s performance
than win98. Not satisfied of these results, I installed my fritz 7 on a laptop
acer 427 (2500 MHz 512 Mb Ram) win win xp pro edition i got better (of course at
least) and proportional (respect at what i have got with 1 GHz)  results but
lower than expected on win 98 (a friend of mine told me he can reach about 1000
KN/sec with amd 1800 and i reached about 900).
I reached at 3 possible conclusions:
a) My friend is a liar :)
b) My XP settings is not optimized for chess
c) Win 98 has better performance than Win xp

Appreciate any comment and any help

TIA
