This was not quite what I wanted to hear... I know there is some controversy
over what test suite is 'best', but I thought I could at least get a rough
ballpark estimate...

How about this - in general, assuming I am running something like Genius 3 or
Fritz 3 on this machine (386/20, 4 M RAM), what kind of performance can I
expect??? 2300 ELO?

Thx, Bob P.
