Mr.  Marovic,


I    think    that     you     would     notice     a     great     improvement
and     get      a      deeper     respect     for    Junior 6    if   you
played     it    on     at    least    a     333Mhz   PII    with    at    least
    64    Megabytes      of      RAM.      The    ideal     system    for
Junior 6     is     on      a      700     MHz      machine     with     128
Megabytes     of     RAM.     I   do    agree    that    per  unit  speed Fritz
6 is a better searcher than Junior 6.

I would hold on to the 166 MHz  machine  and learn to beat Junior 6
consistently.  Then you can gloat until you get a quad multiprocessor 1500 MHz
machine with 1024 Megabytes of RAM.
