As far as I remember, all the top contenders had PII-300s ("Junior" and
"VirtualChess") or fast Alphas ("Shredder", "Ferret", and "DarkThought")
except for "MChess" which ran on a stock AMD K6-233MHz.

==> 767MHz Alpha-21164a equals roughly a 600MHz PII for "Ferret" which
exactly supports my statements as cited again below.

Independent verification is always nice. :-)
