I think that leading edge hardware is the best idea to give the most exciting
chess game.  However, I think that *bleeding edge*, where we are not so sure if
the pc is 100% reliable, is not such a good idea.  Perhaps Ed's switch back to
the other machine will help out.

If Ed played on a 233, it would be 50 to 100 points lower in ELO, and that would
really handicap against a world ranked human player.
