This is certainly so from CM 5000 to 5500 to >6000, and maybe even 4000 has the same strength as 6000. Nobody tested >this! > Do you own all these programs? the engine remains more or less the same?, the cm5000 and the cm5500 may be the same but the cm has gone from strength to strength from the 4000 to the 5000 series to the 6000 which is clearly the strongest of them all. "Nobody tested this!" tested what the 4000 v the 6000 even the idea is pointless, the SSDF tested both the 4000 and the 5000, and there reasons for not testing the 6000 are well known. Clearly the 6000 is as strong as any program in the top ten of the SSDF while the 4000 was rated lower than 2300 true on a 486 however clearly not up to the likes of the 6000. >What is the reason for this?
