This system is MUCH cheaper, and as you can see, has a LEAST a 200 node per
second advantage.

Granted it likes some positions more than others, however, this 71 move game has
an average of 1800+ nodes per second.

$3100 is a tad steep.  And the KyroTech stuff is junk.

BTW, this system Fritzmark's 1957 nps with 128MB hash on Deep Fritz.

PS I know the PGN is a tad confusing, I disco'ed during the game, and 232
continued.
