 Sure, but I'm more interested in the difference in playingstrength when you
 move from one single 450 mhz processor to Bruce's Xeon 450 mhz x 4. How much
 difference would it make in 5-min blitz? The outcome of a 100 games 5' blitz-
 match between Ferret 450 mhz single processor - and Ferret 450 mhz x 4 ?
 40-60 or what? For me that comparision would be far more interesting. Also,
 of course with other timelimits. In the back of my head I have something
 about doubling the speed - let's say from 200 mhz to 400 mhz -would give
 about 60-70 ratingpoints in 40/2. In blitz I don't know. But what about
 single 450mhz to 450mhz x 4 ?
