Assume shredder etc running on a dual processor machine with 3Ghz processors, Long time control: Shredder & co: 2500 ELO Hydra: 2600 (??) Crafty etc: 2400 Phalanx: 2300 Fruit: 2250 Again a guess, which is based on showing of my program against humans on FICS, and matches between GMs and programs (Like Fritz/Deep Junior) etc. Also noting that humans like Eduard nemeth can consistently beat programs like Fritz 8 (although on a slower computer).
