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 ? Sune >> >>But seriously, there's no way I could give you a number without it being totally >>random.
