My advice is to run crafty on both machines, and compare the NPS.  Then play
with shredder at 2h/G and crafty at the appropriate multiplier to achieve the
time advantage you are trying to test.  IE if you want to do an opteron
comparison, I could give you a bench run to give an NPS value for the quad
2.0ghz opteron I was running on...  You could use that to scale the Piv/3 to
that speed if that is the point here...  However, I am not quite sure what you
are trying to show?  IE I have run on an 8-cpu opteron and know what it looks
like speed-wise as well.  I've not run on any opteron beyond 8-way yet...

I would use the same books on the ftp.  Re-grab the to clear any learning
if you have run any with learning enabled.  Then run both engines with
learning enabled...  let 'er rip...
