The answer is probably a lot more complicated than that. Some programs are
better at Computer v Computer and some work better at Computer v Human for
example. My, purely subjective, view is that the strongest program is
probably Deep Fritz, even without multiple processors. Fritz 7 seems
slightly faster (may be better at blitz) but DF more often has a better
judgement on how the position stands. Analyse a position with both and F7 is
far more likely to change its evaluation after a few plies - usually closer
to what DF thinks. The one caveat I would add is that I haven't seen Chess
Tiger in operation.

Chessmaster & Gnu, mentioned elsewhere, are patzers in comparison to any of
these.
