I realized that for that match that I previously posted, Aristarch 4.50 was not
using its EGTBs, and for this match I decided to use the 3 and 4 pieces for both
programs, therefore, if you want to make a solid comparison you have to use the
same weapons for both programs. Yes, I do agree that Aristarch is a little bit
stronger, but I am not sure if Aristarch could continue this trend if I decide
to match it for five hours to simulate the WCCC 2004 using this mere Athlon 1.2
GHz.
