I would not call this hardware slow, and is much faster then what most people own. It will be a good test for most GM's. If Hiarcs7 can just score 2 to 2.5 points against a 2600 GM, I don't think there will be much doubt that Hiarcs7 is a GM on faster hardware or on a G3/233. Remember Hiarcs6 beat a IM on just a Ppro200 with ease, so I would expect it to be a good match. The only wild card in the match I see is the changing of Hiarcs 7 opening book for this match. I understand why the book must be changed, but if an non-expert is picking lines... this alone can lose the match for Hiarcs7. Mark Young
