Here is some data about the improvement from 450 mhz to 1200 mhz based on the
results if I did not do a calculation error

Tiger15        58
Deep Fritz7   107
GambitTiger2   71
Junior7        57
Fritz7        110
chesstiger14   87
shredder5.32   55
Hiarcs8        95
Rebel Century 106
Gandalf5      104
Gandalf4.32h  132
Crafty18.12   134


You can see that Fritz simply have problems with the 450 mhz relative to most of
the programs.

The only competition for Shredder in 1200 mhz is Fritz and we can expect
shredder to lead with big gap in 450 mhz when this program is out of
competition.
