Shredder2(p200MMX) is a player with a known rating based on games of the past. playing shredder2 on the fast hardware against fritz6(p200MMX) is not going to help the ssdf because both players have no known rating. shredder2 was not tested on the fast hardware because the ssdf always use fast hardware for new programs and old hardware for old programs. It may be interesting to have rating for shredder2 on the fast hardware and for Fritz6(p200MMX) but the ssdf think that it is more interesting to get rating for the new programs with new hardware and there are not enough testers to do both of the things. I believe that if you can convince enough testers to test Fritz6(p200MMX) and shredder2(K6-2 450) there may be a match like you suggest(you need to wait until at least one of the programs will have a known rating).
