Estimated Positions Per Second ??

Post by Chess Gator »

Hi,

I know Deeper Blue and Hydra evaluate approximately 200,000,000 chess positions per second.

If I buy a system with the following specs, what would be the estimated position evaluation per second using Deep Shredder 11 software ??

Intel Xeon Quad Core E5345 2.33GHz 1333MHz 8MB 80W - two CPUs
Kingston FB DIMM DDR II RAM 667 Mhz
TYAN motherboard [Tempest i5000SL (S2692)] 1333 Bus

On a side note, what is the best RAM to use for computer chess?

Has anyone done recent testing for RAM and computer chess?

Any suggestions to improve my hardware choices are welcome !

Thank you :D

I am asking about an Intel Quad Xeon * 2 cpus, not an Intel Core 2, I know you are trying to help and that is appreciated, but it is not the correct set up. Thanks
