I figured out how to run the program without the annoying little animation at the beginning. I can't seem to run more than one copy at the same time like I could with Fritz 6. Going to miss that for doing analysis and playing at the same time. Orignally I started with Fritz 4/5/6 and was getting about 450 KN's per second on a Pentium III 450 mhz. I wanted more power, mostly for chess analysis, so I upgraded to a Pentium III 933 mhz. The speed didn't exactly double but I was getting aroudn 750 KN/S. Then I bought Fritz 8 and the KN/S dropped to 450 again, but sometimes it was much less. I thought that maybe this would be O.K. since the program was smarter than the previous versions, but this drop in KN/S prompted me to buy a 2.4 GHZ celeron with an XP O.S. What is surprising is that the KN/S haven't gone up that much. Right now it is reporting 510 KN/S and I have seen speeds from 300 to 1200 KN/S, but typically I might see 600 to 700 KN/S. I wonder if there are bug fixes for fritz 8? John Coffey
