Maybe you are joking. I read this over several times thinking I misunderstood. Many 2x core and 2x 2core with SMP programs are getting beat by single core Rybka. Rybka has taught everyone what Uri has been saying all along, there is much to be gained in program search improvements. You cannot bullshit the gamers that have expensive hardware and all programs, eventually they find a package that works. Right now the winning package for gamers is fastest single processor you can afford with Rybka. WHEW!!! sure glad I didnt buy $3000 upgrade and $100 SMP program from chessbase, just to get beat at game servers. kburcham
