Won't need an extra ply, just incremental speed up. The programs are 2600+ on a 1Ghz PIII, the 3Ghz PIV machine should have a slight advantage. This GM may win, but he will have to be very well prepard and make no mistakes. Most GM's would lose this match, a top 10 GM vs Hiarcs 8 on a 2.5Ghz or faster is a very close match, small speedups and sw improvement make the difference between winning and loosing at this level/speed, in 18 months it will be even toughter, but the GM will still have good chances. It should be fun to watch. :)
