Blargh on ICC is a dual 1.6Ghz Opteron - and he's the top rated standard player,
computer or human.  All the more impressive when you consider the next two are
computers that play only humans, while Blargh takes on all comers.

The nice thing about Opteron is that (unlike the P4) you don't have to optimize
your code to get top performance out of it.  It will run your 386 code screaming
fast.
