I just read the calculating power of Deep Blue a few minutes ago, it was capable
of calculating 200 Millions positions per second while the Frankfurt Primergy
was only capable of 2.8 Miliions positions per second. Now if the Pentium 4
which is only twice as fast as each 700 Mhz on the Primergy Netserver
then it will only have 12% of the calculating power of Deep Blue. Probably in a
mini match of 5 or 7 games, in time control of G/30 per side will this
future Primergy Netserver be able to beat Kasparov.
