He told me he hadn't tested it at all. That's why he used 4 threads. That's why stefan who had tested it, played with SMT turned off and played dual Xeon 2.8. if you have a sponsor like they have, you always go for the machine the sponsor provide. the alternative is buying a dual K7, and that's quite a bit more expensive than using that provided machine... I got home. quoted for first position out of book fritz had against me what speed it there had and some people who sometimes post here too, had a much faster fritz at their dual K7.
