Erdo has been a CB beta tester for a long period and would like all other beta testers receive CB program copies in advance to test. Erdo does some of his testing on Playchess, while others maybe run autoplayer games and test suites. > I saw that in his profile he was operating Hydra on >Playchess with an P4 3.06 x 8 with 8 of those FPGA cards. Apparently while it may have said that, only 4 were running. >If the Hydra project is successful what would be the asking price for one of >those chips? Anyone have any estimates? Would it even be sold commercially? My guess would be if it wins Paderborn and then maybe a couple of other computer tournaments, they would seek a match with either Kasparov or Kramnik. Next guess after that sell them commercially, last guess $600 per card. Sarah.
