GM norms are only for humans.  FIDE will not allow any computer to play in FIDE
sanctioned events.  Tiger, Junior, Fritz, Hiarcs, Rebel and the King all have
very good (2600 and 2700, norm strength) results.

SW Versions and HW are important.  The SSDF list is a very good reference and
Tony's page provides Human vs Computer results as well.
