I found one that was a P233 MMX with 32 meg of ram and 4 gig hard drive for about $800 Australian Dollors. I loaded CM6K on there and it does great. It even has beaten my PC CM6K which is now a PIII 500, but not very often though. As for the gameboy being rated around 2300, Well I think you may be over estimating the strength of that little machine. have a look at this site, Australian Chess Discounts here in Sydney, Australia. http://www.ozemail.com.au/~pparr/ They stock I think all Novag Products and others stuff, and all the computer chess software you should be able to get through them.
