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.
