Actually, the g5 chip(970) is fairly low power draw. The power supply is 600 watts mostly to drive perhipherals and 4+GB of RAM. The seven fans are for the sake of quiet. There's a separate thremal area for drives, for instance, and if the drives are spun down, that fan cuts out. As for chess programs, i expect the first person who makes a bitboard program that properly utilizes the vector processor will have a real beast on their hands. dave
