Will not happen. In the beginning af the 90's I had a 486 running 50
or 66Mhz, can't remember, and a PCI (ISA ?) card for the Chess machine. At that
time it made sense, since you would have a stronger program by using a
dedicated card. Soon after the Pentium came, and no one would buy this card.
Today, it makes no sense since the strongest programs running on PC hardware
is capable of drawing against the world champion.
