Go up one level in this thread
I used one CPU (2.8GHz P4 w/HT + 800FSB) with ponder off. I used Dr. Deeb's "w-deeb-v02__powerbook.abk", and all engines used 128MB hash and no TBs. I'm not sure we can count on SSDF's continued efforts, I haven't seen any updates for quite some time. I thought it was unusual for the Default cm9k settings to do better than the custom settings. I just did a match between my custom cm9k setting and shredder classic, and classic won by two games. Jason > >>This is with the registered version. I'm almost sorry I bought it.
