Unless the operating systems offers parallel processing support for multiple processors, I don't see any difference between Linux and Windows 9x. However, I know that NT supports multiple processors up to 4 processors, and Unix also offers such a feature. I am not familiar with Linux, so I cannot comment. Also the chess programs must also support parallel processing. Crafty is one of the freeware engines, with Deep Junior aka Junior 6, it remains to be seen if Junior 6 will indeed support multi-processor, and Fritz Frankfurt or Quest. Laurence
