Crafty runs very well on it, so do Deep Fritz 8 and Shredder 8. They equal and sometimes even surpass the Athlon systems running at 2.25 Ghz (Athlon 2800+ Tbred). However, some programs, most notably Junior, are quite a bit faster on the Athlon systems. The Axon benchmark is not biased but, being a mixture of 16 bit and 32 instructions, runs a bit slower on P4 machines. I think that the Axon bench for my P4 is about 7.98, or close to 8 (about as fast as an Athlon 2400+). Deep Fritz 8, however, runs faster on a P4-3.0 than on any Athlon platform (except the new 64-bit), mainly due to the built in MMX extensions. Crafty 19.10 SE, for example, benched at over 1,300 kns, which is not bad at all (having in mind that I was running several tasks at the same time). If I remember correctly, the Deep Fritz 8 benchmark was about 620-630, meaning that the knps went up as high as 1,300 knps. All in all, I think that a P4 is a good machine. I use it not only for computer chess but for my everyday work. The Athlon that I have at home, runnning at 2.25 Ghz, is my chess only machine. I am sure that you won't make a mistake with the P4.
