Any one i left out please dont be offended. >Hop this helped. Regards, George There is no reason why the engine would perform noticeably better outside the CM GUI compared to inside. I haven't seen enough testing reports with the CM 10th engine to know the extent of the strength increase, but I can safely say that there were settings with the CM9 engine that were at least 150 points better than the DEFAULT settings. That's the main point to remember -- we're talking about the difference between the default settings within the GUI and custom settings. Not the difference between GUIs. jm
