They took a small system to the Linux expo and played chess against all comers. They seemed to have a good time doing it, and had planned on giving away T-shirts to anyone that could beat it. After the first day, they had given away none, so I think they changed the rule to give away T-shirts to anyone willing to play it. :) My 60M figure is "peak". To compare that to DB you have to use 1000M nodes per second. It would _still_ be a long way away.
