The following is what Fritz is playing on. Since Siemens is sponsering the event, you can bet that it is the top end of this and not the bottom end. If so, 8 processors will make this tougher than the Fritz that played at Paderborn (which I believe was on 4 processors). If you take that into account, it is probably equilvalent to running Fritz on a single processor system at about G150 instead of G25. Effectively, the increases in speed due to the multi-processor systems give the programs more "time" to search, and so they are effectively playing at slower tournament times (relative to those same programs on single processor systems). No wonder Fritz is dropping the GMs. System board Microprocessor Intel Pentium II Xeon PRIMERGY 870-40 max. 4 processors, PRIMERGY 870-80 max. 8 processors (from end of 98) Data width 64-bit internal and external Clock rate cache-bus/host bus 400/100, 450/100 MHz Second-level cache integrated 512 Kbyte, 1 Mbyte or 2 Mbyte (ab 450 MHz) with ECC RAM with EDC 128 Mbyte to max. 8 Gbyte Flash-EPROM BIOS update with FD or LAN possible Processor upgrade future Intel Pentium® II processors with Slot 2 (IA32) Interfaces 4 x RS-232-C (serial, 9-pin), 2 x USB, 1 x Centronics (parallel, 25-pin, EPP/ECP compatible), 2 x PS/2 (keyboard and mouse), 1 x CAN bus (15-pin), 1 x VGA (15-pin), 1 x RJ45 for LAN On-board controller Floppy disk drive 1,44 Mbyte Dual Ultra-wide-SCSI external drives / external Graphics Cirrus GD 5446 on PCI local bus (2 Mbyte) LAN Intel 82558 10/100 Mbit/s I/O processor Intel i960RD 66 MHz, I2O ready Floppy disk drive 3.5-inch, 1,44 Mbyte CD-ROM drive 5.25-inch, 32-speed SCSI Hard disk drive 3.5-inch Ultra-wide/Ultra2-SCSI Net capacity 4 / 9 / 18 Gbyte hot-replace KarinsDad :)
