One of the problems of the Rebel benchmark is that current systems are already very close to the maximum 2600. Thus the results for the fastest machines are probably a little too low compared to the slower ones. 22 ELO seems a little low for doubling the speed. 40-60 seems more reasonable even at these high levels. (See also the Louguet test suite which gives 40-65 points difference typically). BTW, if you're thinking about upgrading to the fastest, the Kryotech K7-800 is ready for shipping (www.kryotech.com). :-) --- Shep
