Graham,

How about we let all the CCC members see how fast the CCRL testers can fall all over themselves when it comes to testing Komodo 4 MP when released.

It will be a High priority....

Anyone want to bet it will not take months to test Komodo 4 MP with 4CPU at 40/40 :)
I would expect Komodo 4 MP will be tested much more quickly than Houdini 2 for the obvious reason that it will be the first Komodo MP whereas Houdini 2 is at best a very minor upgrade or perhaps none at all. If I were a tester I would be more excited about testing a new top MP engine than an upgrade. This is not bias, it is just common sense.
To be fair Larry, I do feel embarrassed that we've not given Houdini 2.0 4CPU more games in our 40/40 testing, but the reason is certainly not bias.
Why??? I mean really...
Why? Because it is on the 40/40 list, and thus it should get a sufficient number of games played.
Duh...

I happen to care if the paid version of a program is weaker than the free version. Keep your childish temper tantrums to yourself. They are wholly unimpressive.


I see we have a lot of complainers, whiners...If I feel like saying what a lot of people want to say but have no balls to say it, the wimps have you censored.

I think I'm entitled to vent a little frustration after all these years of stupidity over these illegitimate engines. If you want to waste your money on them it's mot my fault!
