P.ConNerS was running on 160 Pentium II CPUs (I think 350 or 300 MHz at that
time, I'm not sure). But I think, a program on a standard pc could probably have
won that tournament as well, because later at the IPCCC 2001, P.ConNerS (160 x
PII/450) reached only 50% (4.5/9) among various profis and amateurs, most of
which used single CPU or dual machines.
