The monitor is a Dell. Here's the link.

I've had the monitor for about four months now and I'm delighted with it - highly recommended.

As for the strength of The King 3.50 - I think we'll need to use the other GUIs to assess how strong it is.

Best regards,

But i'm mostly interested about strength. Can it use multiple CPU's? Is it stronger from its predecessor?

Post by mclane »

as Clemens Keck wrote in CSS_Forum the parameter for making TheKing350 using 2 or 4 CPU's under Arena/CB-GUI's etc. is
/t2 or /t4 for the quad. Clemens wrote that he had the info from Cock.

as Werner Schüle and i could prove, it works very well.

just put the command in the command-line area of Arena.

Now we are completely happy because we can seriously testing TheKing in 32/64 and in 1,2 or 4 CPU machines and all in the GUI we like.
the CM-GUI is only needed for fun and to give us the OPK number each start.
