Which setup?

Is it comparable if 5 games are played like this Junior-Karaparov where a team
is behind the computer and another 5 games are played on my humble 266MHz PII
with default settings?

The interesting would be with a setup like these Junior-Kasparov matches or WCCC
where the games are a competition with adjustement between games. But these
advanced matches don't belong to the Elo list even if you take away the engine.

So whats left, Junior_266M, Junior_450M(AMD), Junior_1.5G(P4) .....
Since Elo lists are calculated in time, version numbers aren't interesting. You
could probably create a fixed hardware for each year, but anyway is this
interesting at all when the best setting (team above) isn't messured.
