sorry. but here you are wrong.

if you throw a good car out of a plane and a bad car out of a plane both cars
will crash on the ground and be destroyed.

it will not happen that the good car drives better.

you measure something else then which car is better in driving.
you measure something else.

nothing against your hardware. i do have 2 slow pc's too. but when i use them, i
let them compute on longer time control. all this blitz game stuff on slow
machines makes IMO not much sense.

of course you can do whatever you want. but IMO you would use them better if you
would let them compute 40/120 games.

don't see my critic destructive. see it constructive.
even with old computers you can make something useful by let the computers think
longer time controls.
