No reason as to the overkill vs Kramnik, but I am guessing it was a marketing
tactic for the computer supplier.

Really I don't think Bareev is going to do much vs Hiarcs on a 2.4Ghz. I would
suspect a draw, and wins for Hiarcs.

All the hardware in the world would not matter as Kramnik showed in the first
few games vs Fritz.

Programs are still weak when it comes to positional chess, and Kramnik showed
that. No hardware would have been able to save Fritz in those games.
