from Mig: http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt.htm:

"The main machine is an eight-processor beast from Canvas Systems. It has eight
1.6 GHz Intel processors and eight gigabytes of RAM! The backup machine has just
four processors, but they are 1.9 GHz each ( four GB RAM). According to their
babysitter, the Junior team might actually use the four-processor machine as the
primary. The faster chips and the slightly more efficient processing from four
vs eight processors make them very similar in chess performance."
