On the SETI* program the AMD is roughly 3x slower than the Pentium II 350MHz I use at work. However, the SETI task probably has a lot of floating point, which a chess program presumably wouldn't have. Another factor could be cache: the Celeron has a very fast on-board cache, which, combined with it's excellent cost-effectiveness, makes it a preferred CPU for games like Quake. -JamesF99 _____ *SETI = Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a distributed program for interpreting a huge database of radio telescope data. Several hundred thousand registered participants are donating CPU cycles.
