Test it yourself whether TSCP profits more from faster RAM than Shredder. The reason for this is trivial but not that anyone cares. Using games software type Quake or Half Life 2 to prove things about chessprograms is not very clever. Note that i test a lot but simply don't post it at CCC and won't post it either.
