I will have to agree with You'all about the AMD Processors being superior to
Intel Processors for Chess Programs. I own serval of both top Guns from both
Manufactors. The noise from the cooling Fans has never bothered Me too much
,infact My biggest Dual Box has a total of 10 Fans in It. It came with 4 and I
added the other 6. I call It the B-17 Bomber because It sounds like one. How
many times have You been playing Chess on-line and had Your Legs sweating under
the Console or desk? That doesn't happen with the B-17 Bomber circulating all
that Air around. Good luck and good hunting, >>>>Mike
