THANKS! An Alpha 21264 at 575MHZ should be pretty quick. Appart from that, the only way to know is to test the actual machines you are thinking of buying with the actual software. Speed depends on more than just the CPU, and the best CPU varies from program to program. Of course the actual difference in chess strength of these cpus is so small that it shouldn't matter to you. Buy on price, or on performance for other applications you want to run.
