I don't totally agree here.  In 1999 at Paderborn (?), Shredder won the WCCC
using only a PIII-550.  Many other programs were running on much larger hardware
- I think P.CoNnerS was running on something like 60xPII-300, Zugzwang was also
running on a large message-passing architecture, and several programs had more
'normal' Quad Xeons and the like.
