I also believe mhz makes a big difference in game results and analysis. I remember a reply to one of my posts regarding SSDF hardware upgrades. I thought it was important for SSDF to upgrade for more accurate test results. At the time I think SSDF was using 450 mhz AMD. Have you had a change of heart about the importance of mhz. Does size make a difference to you? I will always post with MHZ and program. I think Dan's idea of MHZ in profile is good. here is the post I am refering to: Christophe Theron on May 30, 2001 at 22:48:09 I'm happy to learn that the computer I work on everyday is antique. If there is a difference in elo increase between programs, it is likely to be under the error margin you can expect from 200 games, so you won't be able to detect it by comparing the results on 450MHz computers with the results on 1500MHz. If you really believe that the SSDF is way off by testing on 450MHz computers, you are living with illusions. But they know that there are people like you, so they're going to update their hardware soon. That won't change a thing, except that next year you are going to complain about those antique 1500MHz computers. Meanwhile, a year without barking at the SSDF hardware level is something we are all going to enjoy. Christophe
