Which rating do you refer to? As for the ratings displayed within the CM GUI, AFAIK these are not fix but are adjusted dynamically, depending on the CPU speed. For example, on a P3/700 MHz the default CM personality is rated 2741, and on an Athlon@1200 it displays 2814. This seems a reasonable computer rating difference for these speed difference to me (The King runs ~twice as fast on the Athlon@1200, than on the P3/700). Against humans, I guess the difference is much smaller. But GMs don't visit me often, so I cannot prove it :-)). IIRC, John (Merlino) has explained here once how CM handles this, but a long time ago... maybe he reads your question and can give his comments again. I just noticed, CM9000 displays the same "base rating" 2724 on both machines in the Setup Personality dialogue, but I guess this serves as a text information only with no effect on the playing strength of custom personalities (?).
