I think the R(MHz) figure isn't to be taken as anything >more than giving a general feel for the influence of clock speed. But it is NOT representing influence of clock speed. In contradiction, it is FAVOURING slow machines. Why put R(Mhz) there, as if it's a scientific smart thing, where it sucks bigtime! >I think the Green List is great, as was its precursor the "Under 2600 >List". Crafty is under 2600. Why put R(Mhz) there anyway then? >Andrew
