I'd venture to say that its hypothetical results vs humans should not exceed the best micro's results by more than 100-150 rating points. Thus, we talk of two different things -- DB may exploit a micro (or chess software)'s weaknesses quite consistently, but this does not apply to humans who are always prone to mistakes, errors, etc. Thus, another 'guestimate': DB (approximately) 2700, best micro (computer software) on a Pentium II / AMD K6 400 Mhz 2550-2600.
