I assume you have a dual cpu machine? The programs you mention are not "Deep" programs. Meaning they do not use both cpu like the ones specially designed to use both cpus. You need to find "Crafty SMP" or Shredder 8. Fruit is not designed to use 2 cpus. Although I have discovered that the dual machine I have will automatically share the load between the 2 cores, it only uses 50% of the time for each core which adds up to effectively one cpu. That means efectively using only 50% of the cpu time. There are many "Deep" programs around like Deep Sjeng 1.6/Shredder 8/Deep Fritz/Deep Junior. Jim
