If you want grandmaster strength then you need to downgrade your hardware or
your software.

Shredder7.04 on P90 or something of eqvivalent strength may probably give you
grandmaster strength.

Fritz3 on p90 achieved IM norm some years ago and it achieved some draws against
GM's in that tournament(the weaker players did better against it because they
trained against the program at home).

Shredder7.04 is significantly better than Fritz3 so I guess that it is GM
strength on p90 at least when the GM's do not train against it to find it's
weakness and GM's have not the privilage to train against a copy of their
opponent so using games when GM's did special training against the opponent is
unfair.
