Subject: Which is the one with the correct ratings?

If you take a look at stuff offered in  COMPUTER CHESS & COMPUTER BRIDGE and you
compare it with the same stuff kept in ICD, you will see great differences
according how they evaluate the strenght of dedicated computers. Always ICD
gives them a lot lower rating, but for the other side the owner of the english
shop is a known guy of the community, author of opennning books for some
programs and besides he profeses "christianity", so how we could believe is is
just cheating? In other words, we have not here a case of "this guy say the
truth and the other one lie". One of them or both is or are making the wrong
measures. I tend to put my faith in the side of ICD, but, who know if they are
too much pesimistic due to bad experiencs in the beginnings of time?
This is not just an academic problem as much I have been wavering before
purchasing a new dedicated unit due precisely to that discrepance.  If any of
you knows of a third party to confront the data, please let me know.
