I've seen this mentioned several times, that Fritz5 is optimized for a
Pentium 200.  Where does this information come from?  Is it in the
owner's manual?  In the Fritz5 advertisements?  Guess I just don't
understand why any program would play weaker on a faster CPU.  Perhaps
that is why I'm not a chess programmer.
