Franz Morsch screams "BRUTUS!!!!" (like kirk screams KHAN!!! in start >trek the wrath of Khan) Well as the approach to Brutus has been done before just not in the same way, I would hardly call it next gen. While the cards do offer some benefits, you have to remember they run on a 33Mhz bus for now, which is slow. The average personal computer runs at atleast 133 Mhz bus. Some as far as 800Mhz. Brutus has been playing very well, but it is not over yet. We can see that 500 processors for Diep has done virtually nothing to help Vincent there. His achievement in making it run on 500 processors is something to be commended on, but he did little with the program to make it stronger. You can add all the _hardware_ in the world, but if the program itself isn't strong it will not win. The Brutus fad will come and go just as quickly as a fart in the wind. Well I hope so anyway. Peter.
