Those old times: if we all would be still playing 40 moves in 5 minutes
at a P75 with 32 mb RAM, so actual speed is
a P37.5

Let's calculate a little:

a P133 is exactly 3 times slower for DIEP as a Pentium pro200.
a PII450 is a little bit more than 2 times faster than a PRO200.

So a PII450 is about 4 x 3 x (133/37.5) times faster = 45 times faster.

Let's see: 40 moves in 300 seconds = 7.5 seconds a move.
That's 7.5 / 45 = 0.167 seconds a move at a PII450.

Gotta be a 1 ply search a move tournament...
...and winner is a prog searching 2 ply i bet?
...hopefully you have good old genius somewhere, cuz
it loves those tournaments...

I still didn't take into account
the small hashsize which caused huge
swapping playing the engines against each other.
