and your result shows , that a palm zire 21 (for arround 70 EURO)
with hiarcs, on 125 mhz and with 384 kbyte RAM for hash,
can beat almost any dedicated chess computer.

and - you can even overclock this palm zire 21 from 126 mhz
to 192 mhz with the software : lightspeed.

and here we know the secret why dedicated chess computers of today have so huge
problems to get a market. as long as the companies Saitek and others come out
with these LOW CPU's and these LOW standards, nobody will pay more than 100 EURO
for a dedicated chess computer for other reason then nostalgic emotions.
