the programs get better inching along ,there is indeed something missing
.programs are not going to jump in elo anymore until programers solve the
problem of computer learning .mhz can only take you so far after that memory
must be a key factor in getting better .i have been dissapointed by programs
sucking every ounce of ram and making 100% to 400% in processor power smp ,but
they almost totaly neglect 1 thing a computer does better than any human
(remember) ie hard drive .i know they have tried with egtb and big opening books
but that will not be enough .
