The numbers above don't seem to support this conjecture, but maybe I'm missing something. I would also be curious about Selective Search numbers, but I don't have access to them. For Steve's sake, let's leave out the PC program part of the discussion. R30 2.2 and 2.5 are significantly stronger than RISC 2500/Montreux, and the strength difference between the latter two doesn't seem to support the idea that they're running different engine versions. Personally, I think Montreux's larger opening book makes more sense as an explanation.

Will Post selective search Rating's for the above four computers later today

Last Selective Search Ratings:
R30 2.5-2330
R30 V2.2-2297
Montreux-2211
Risc 2500(128kb)-2192
SS also has ratings for 2500 versions that sold with higher ram but as the Montreux was only sold with 128kb ram I posted only the 128kb 2500 rating
