>This is pretty interesting stuff! A must save posting!! Thanks Steve.

glad you found it of interest,Ismenio
in your future collecting..if you have a model that for any reason you suspect
is not performing as it should be..then test it with a few positions from the
suites and see if it has the same solve times as the model previously tested
of course not every computer was tested but many of the more expensive ones were

i dont quite understand your comment here
do you mean you tested the Excalibur Deluxe and it did not find Be6 for black
after 40 min?

if so,thats normal..none of the dedicated units could find it after the 15 min
time limit

my Star Ruby couldnt after 20 min,so i stopped the test
once the 15 min is up..the test position is stopped with a score of 900(seconds)
entered for that particular position

Caissa Regards
Steve
