Greetings, I have a chance to buy a AMD K6-2 450 MHz with 64MB RAM and 6.4GB hard drive for $750 (US), including shipping & taxes. I'm very tempted. I'm getting tired of being the slowest kid on the block with this old i486 dx/2 66Mz, although it has given good service for the past five years. My big question is: What Elo chess rating will this give me with some popular chess playing software titles such as Chessmaster 6000 and Hiarcs 7.32? I'm guessing it will be in the 2550-2600 Elo range. Is that about right??? I note that Shep assigns those titles a 2600+ Elo rating with a 550MHz Pentium system. Also the SSDF Rating List indicates a 2570+ rating for those titles, although I'm not sure what equipment they used. Thanks! JRM
