The playing strength is not the same. Perhaps you missed this page from the
site:

"Frequently asked questions and answers
What is the difference between Shredder Classic, Shredder 9 UCI and Deep
Shredder 9 UCI?

All three versions are delivered with the same user interface and differ only in
the included chess engine. Shredder 9 UCI is the latest and strongest version of
the Shredder chess family which exists since 1993. Deep Shredder 9 UCI
additionally supports computers with more than one processor or the new dual
core processors and can therefore compute faster and more efficiently on those
machines, but it will also run fine on normal PCs with just one processor.
Shredder Classic has the same chess knowledge like his bigger brothers but his
calculations are not as fast and efficient."

Tests have shown Shredder 9 to be 100-150 elo stronger than Shredder Classic.
