processors aren't everything, diep used 256cpu's last year and did not win,
infact did not even come second place.

Its not always about the 'smartest' program with 1 cpu, its about working with
what you have and OPTIMIZING it.

If you have access to an 8way opteron processor, and you can maximize your
programs potential using those cpu's do so, if you don't, work with what you
can't.

Its about a chess playing 'unit' not always about the program, as hydra has
demonstrated,

hydra is excellent , diep is good, but did not win with 256 cpu's,

just my 2 cents
