I have owned a GK2100 too. Its really cool and strong at slow time (<= 30 min/game). I am 2090 (non USCF). My score at 20 min/game with him is 50%. The only problem that I see is in the finals. Without a big hash table, GK is no good. (when comparing against Sapphire I or II - both have a huge memory for hash tables). GK has a very interesting middle game. The quality of the hardware is very superior than excaliburs. A friend that has Excalibur Karpov Grandmaster told me the machine is not so strong at slow time controls. But increase when >= 60 min/game. The quality of the opening book is poor.
