Sorry Les, but this is utterly wrong. Deeper Blue had a speed of 200 - 1,000 million _nodes_per_second_ in chess. This is something completely different from saying it had 0.2 - 1 billion instructions per second. Your calculation would be right if "node" == "instruction", but no computer (not even a highly specialized one as DB) can examine one node in one instruction. --- Shep
