My moneys on the fidelity, the par excellence was a great machine, the old sargon programs were not that strong, don't know about sargon 3, though. I own a fidelity elite, play it against fritz a lot, it loses, but sometimes the games are very close.
I believe the elite and par excellence were the same program/par excellence had better hardware/more memory and hash tables with a faster processor.
