If you write your program to utilize SMP, then your program has that advantage, it makes it that much stronger. Enough people run their own tournaments on equal hardware to give you a picture. I think for the WCCC it should be treated as an open. If I want to enter on my companies 8-way then I should be aloud. After-all, I put the extra effort in to utilize SMP. How would you test the strength of dedicated units when their hardware veries so much? Runners aren't required to use the same shoes. You use what gives you the extra edge. -Sean
