Hi Nicolas
Interesting your post, however some ponderings, sensory 9 works with 2 MHz while Elite a/s works with 3.2 MHz, and so on, correct?

yes i am agree , the speed of processor may vary of course. But i a mainly intereted by the program itself!

Processor speed have an impact on the strngh, but the program have a direct impact on the style of play!
