Obviously this is easy to guess. the fastest machine for both fritz and junior is a dual machine and a dual k7 to be precise. However, junior gets sponsored by intel a lot. intel obviously is capable of providing a reasonable fast dual too (compared to your single cpu machines) speed of the hardware will not be the decisive factor in this match. only whether kasparov wants to show something. look he doesn't get paid to win. only 1/10 of th etota price money more. let's hope he wants to compete with kramnik though and beat junior harder than kramnik wants to beat fritz. knowing kasparov it will be again a great show of the dumb. playing into tactical lines and especially taking care he looks good on the photo instead of in the analysis of the GMs. from historic perspective kasparov IS the ideal opponent for a computer. if you lose, well it's kasparov. If you win, you beated an ex world champion! Best regards, Vincent >Rex
