Go up one level in this thread


The clock frequency does not say anything about the performance for chess
applications. So a Pentium 4 clocked with 3.4 GHz is actually slower than an AMD
64 3400+ which is only clocked with 2.2 GHz.

To make a short suggestion:

The Athlon XP, the AMD 64 and the Intel Pentium - M (Centrino) are all fine for
chess, but avoid an Pentium 4 Mobile, because the latter is slower although it
has the highest clock rate.
