I saw this funny article at the Chessbase site, which showed how absurdly
extreme, online server playing can get.

"the majority of my questions were coming from people who say they are playing
no chess themselves, but are instead interested in ways to "soup up" their
computers so that it'll beat everyone else's computer online. A couple of these
folks have even confessed that they don't even know how to play chess -- they're
just interested in the "competition" of their hardware against everyone else's
hardware. A few aren't even sure how to use Windows -- some have bought their
first-ever computer just to get in on the "fun". "
