I couldn't find that until I realized you gave the wrong URL.
It is: http://www.cdromshop.com/ (you left the "rom" out).

On the PC, anyway, CM6000 is MUCH stronger then CM4000. I'm a bit unsure
that the Mac versions would have exactly the same engines, but
looking at the SSDF site (http://home3.swipnet.se/~w-36794/ssdf/nr000.htm)
and adjusting for processor speeds, it looks like CM6000 is about 150 points
stronger than CM4000 on the PC.

Note to mention that CM6000 knows what PGN is and has a more decent piece set,
etc.

I hope this product comes out - I'll buy it (but then, I always do).
