I have the same problem. Could it be that Fritz 6 is the new interface and Fritz
5.32 is the actual engine??? I dont know.
Also, is there a significance other than "higher the number, the better" for the
FritzMark score? I am running a Celeron 300A overclocked to 450mhz with 128meg
and I get a score of 295 +/-2. Now I expect C Morris' Aptiva 500mhz to score a
higher number but other than that, what does it mean.
I guess I dont get it. I'm an ex Rebel 10 user and the "system test" would give
you a score referenced to ELO (or was it USCF?)ratings. I can relate to that but
not an arbitary number.
I think I'm missing something and would appreciate some help in understanding it
further. Or am I making to much of it?
Thanks in advance.
 Richard
