Either you have a dual and want to see how the deep programs do on duals, or you don't have a dual and so you would instead buy the version optimized for single processor. But also in light of the constant race for amateurs trying to catch up, more information on this would be interesting. Are amateurs catching up or do the top professionals increase their lead? All in all the flood of fritzes is rather boring, IMO. -S.
