Subject: How Important is Floating Point to Chess Programs?

   I recently received a comment by a computer chess pro stating that Intel has
a propriatory Floating Point code and that AMD although close doesn't exactly
duplicate it. He said it may be why most of my chess programs have problems
running on my AMD K6 475. Can any programers confirm or deny this?
I hope I don't have to buy a new cpu just to cure my addiction to chess!

Thanks
