If you run a slow computer with very little RAM, then you can expect disappointing results with ANY software. If you have a single processor computer then, IMHO, it is pointless or worse to spend the extra money to purchase a "deep" program. No matter what kind of computer and software you use you are likely to be disappointed with the amount of time it takes to produce believable analysis results. These are disappointing times in the chess-playing program world and it may only be after we are all dead and gone before the programs can produce instantaneous GM-level analyses. It takes quite a bit of innovativeness on the part of the user to obtain good analyses since the current crop of chess-playing programs do not have infinite horizons and the programmers have not yet found out how to make their programs play good strategic chess. Just make the best of what you have and learn to live with it. : ( Bob D.
