Is it worth getting ZAPPA MEXICO to play on a Centrino core duo processer.

The only reason I ask is that ChessTiger And Shredder don't seem to play as strong on A Centrino core duo processer as they did on my old Xp laptop.

Zappa is great on a dual core ... but Rybka is much stronger. Zappa shines when it is munching on 4 or more cores.

Yes, but if you look for proof at the CCRL and CEGT rating lists, the 2-->4 processor scaling for Zappa is not overwhelming, compared to the one for Rybka.
