Perhaps you confuse Xbox with a playstation3 from Sony. It's supposed to get a 3.x Ghz cell processor. Besides a main processor it has 8 'help' processors. 1 such processor is dedicated to the OS, the other 7 are available for example for a chessprogram :) A major problem of it will be that you need to rewrite your chessprogram completely. I mean *every* byte, to get it to work at that hardware at a decent speed. But then you'll have something. Who pays for that rewrite? >Wouldn't this make a great system for running a chess engine? >At $350 it seems really cheap for that much processing power. > >Comments are appreciated. > >Josh
