Anything done w/ DB can also be done on a micro. (They don't call Pentiums
general purpose processors for nothing. :) The question is whether or not we can
get access to DB's algorithms, because the DB team has no interest in moving
these algorithms to software. (Saying that DB evaluated "space" is fine and
good, but without more detail, it's almost worthless come implementation time.)
Another question is whether or not DB was so evaluation-intensive that a much
slower implementation would be relatively weak. Finally, it is not clear if DB
did any more or better evaluation than programs like, say, MChess, so it's not
clear if a DB-on-a-PC science experiment would justify the effort.
