Well it is a general indication of top programs running a quad processors.
You are nitpicking too much.  I did not mean to say rebel could run on a
quad.  I meant to say top programs running on a quad seem to be about 2510-2540.
This assumption only requires two parts:

   1. Rebel is a top program gaining a rating of 2480-2490 on a single
      processor.

   2. Quad gives about 1 extra ply which is supposedly 70 pts against computers
      and I say 30 - 50 pts. against GM's.

Really most people know what I meant... but maybe you had an extra beer tonite
:-).
