From observing the game, they ar equal too. Against Rebel 12 on the same hardware, PF2 does not have a chance to win (other than perhaps a"lucky" win/draw - the hardware/software differential is too great). But I would imagine Genius 3 on a 1.2Ghz machine will give most players more they can handle - but Genius 3 at this stage has to be at least 150-250 points weaker (on SSDF basis (computers only) - perhaps less for human basis) than top programs today running on the same hardware > >On September 28, 2003 at 14:42:13, Christophe Theron wrote: > >>On September 28, 2003 at 14:10:42, Joseph Merolle wrote: >> >>>Why would it be slower if the MHZ and ram are the same? >>> >>>regards Joseph >> >> >> >>Because MHz IS NOT A MEASURE OF THE SPEED OF A COMPUTER. >> >>Exactly like the max RPM of a car's engine is not a measure of the car's max >>speed. >> >>In other words you CANNOT compare the MHz figures of different computers and >>decide which one is faster. >> >>You can SOMETIMES under strict conditions (in particular if the computers are >>using exactly the same processor and the same set of associated chips). >> >>But in general comparing the MHz figures will be totally misleading. >> >>Assuming equal MHz, the processor inside the PocketPC computers is several times >>slower than the ones in the PCs.
