I am getting 190,000 nodes a second with fritz5, which is slightly slower than my buddy's Amd 233 (he gets around 220,000 nodes per second). In light of this I can't see how I can be all that handicapped. I do want to get rid of the cyrix chip eventually. My priority right now though is to stack up on memory. Actually having had a 466/100 for such a long time I felt like I took a great leap forward with the cyrix! Before I was seeing only 8-12 thousand nodes per second with rebel, Now I am seeing up to 100,000!!! So I can't complain. >On February 22, 1999 at 18:07:10, odell hall wrote: > >>Hi CCC >> >> I have a simple question!
