You just doubled the number of computers on the project (Assuming the other participants are using one computer each)! If you'd like to bench them for this project just start the engine and type "perfthash 8". This will be a pretty good benchmark for this problem (I guess you 2.5GHz 512MB Athlon) will do quite well. Post your results here, I'll collect them. A benchmark in the client GUI would be possible to implement, sending the result to the server and storing it there, but I think the manual way is good enough. If we go after perft(12) I'll update the client to include this feature. /Regards Albert
