You're much more limited on MAC than a PC (afaik _ I >haven't really kept up with the Mac software) Shredder is there for the Mac. www.shredderchess.com and it runs parallel too. he shows up at tournaments parallel at macs also (except for world champs usually where speed counts a bit more). I understood it's an entire new GUI made in JAVA, a completely different branch of code than the old Shredder GUI. Worth buying if you have a mac! Those lobotomized power5 processors (G5) are pretty good if you compare it with old Mac processors. That they are objectively a lot slower than A64 doesn't matter too much if we consider the huge speedup you get over G4. Of course a problem from power5 is the limited integer performance they show, which is a result of a weirdo design issue with respect to integer performance. Computerchess just is about integer performance. Stefan seems to take over monopoly on sales in Mac world now with Shredder. So there is nothing that can stop you from buying a mac in this sense. >> >>Which programs might be the best opponents for this particular purpose?
