Thanks for the info, guys. For some reason, Mindscape seems to think us Mac players don't need a strong chess engine, so I guess we stick with HIARCS 7.0 Mac. Both CM6000 Mac and CM4000 Mac use "The King 2.0". See: http://guide.apple.com/Lasso.acgi?-database=MacOSGuide&-layout=cgi%5fdetail&-response=%2fussearch%2fdetail.html&-recid=35143&-search which says: " The renowned King 2.0 engine powers the program"[CM6000 Mac] and my CM4000 Mac box says exactly the same thing on the box. Furthermore, I ran the LCTII test on my Mac with both, and for all the problems where I could get the same solution PV displayed (21) all 180+ PV moves were identical, and all 21 scores were identical. It does seem that CM6000 Mac runs about 2% faster than CM4000 Mac.
