Wouldn't that be why SSDF exists? Plus even if you did use equal hardware it
probably would raise questions of not playing a statistical significant number
of games.

IMHO I'd prefer to see people get the absolute best best hardware they can
afford and slug it out. If they want scientific testing.. see if the SSDF will
run it. I can understand some people not having 'good' hardware. The world isn't
fair, it never will be. It is good that they're letting some of the participants
use P4-2.8's though. Seems like a pretty good tournament setup so far.
