I only compared the NPS which I experience in "normal" middle game positions to what I saw Crafty kibitzing on ICC. It was approximately 10 times higher than what I get so to me that means that the Quad Opteron is about 10 times faster than my XP2400+ for Crafty. I think this will give Crafty about a 200 Elo boost. That in my opinion makes Crafty the favorite. I did say that Hiarcs could not compete under these conditions and that was probably an overstatement. It can compete but my money is on Crafty. :) Jim ************** > >>I own 3 (ea) XP2400+ machines so I know a little about their speed.
