I've run my chess program on a 3GHz P4 with HT on and it scaled perfectly compared to my 2.2GHz P4. All of the hardware sites you linked to didn't show a performance decrease like that on ANY benchmark, and it's not like chess programs are completely different from every other program. Occam's razor, there must be something wrong with the way you did the test. -Tom
