I switched from doing chess hacking on a SUN UltraSparc-architecture, IBM P5, HP Itanium to a Pentium M notebook about a year ago. This notebook trounces all of the above for speed. The other three still sit at my desk but I hardly ever use them for anything. The HP and IBM workstations are permanently left off. Intel knows how to make fast chips for single-threaded chess hacking. Enjoy, Stuart
