> Who said that the top of the SSDF list must be the strongest program? Well, you think when, say, CB makes promotional materials, they insert SSDF qualifiers or give the Mhz speed and RAM the SSDF used for their top 4 and the others which competed? Or would they just say they top the list? If CB marketing could have had their experts decide how to run this SSDF cycle, how differently could they have arranged the testing from the actual arrangement? Would they give all top competitors from all companies/authors equal average hardware (some games on K2-450 some on slower, in equal proportion), or would they decide on a more "logical" scheme, where CB does get the fastest hardware (assuring to CB the top 4 spots before the first power switch was turned on), but to ba "fair" a note is added on the chart disclosing the hardware figures, CPU, Mhz and RAM? Actually, we know from your web site that the CB couldn't have thought up of any better arrangement themselves, had they been in charge of it, i.e. haven't they proposed to give you the better hardware but only Fritz was to use it?
