Hi Michael,

I have installed CM 7000 and everything runs OK. Complete installation with
database. Only difference is I decided NOT to install DirectX 6.1 as they come
with CM. I have DirectX 7.0 running.

Here at work I have a slow AMD 586 (P75) 133Mhz PC. A bit too slow for CM 7000's
graphic, but otherevise no problems, no crashes, all other programms running
(maybe I am about to discover something horrible today, but I have not seen
anything bad yet.

Now about speed:
  Personality:  Chessmaster
  Level : Infinite
  Postition: white moves pawn to f3 and waits for the black's 8th move in a
        Thinking Lines window.
Results (in seconds):
  CM 6000   88, 89, 89
  CM 7000   89, 92, 92

This may be due to graphic requirements of CM 7000, but this is a slowdown taken
that engine is the same. I will look at this at home on my 200MMX once more.

Could you please describe exact problem situations? I would like to repeat some
of them and see if I get the same problems. ;-)
