Hi David, >Would anyone wish to guess the cost of the Hydra hardware? well, I think it is nearly as expensive as some think. You know, it's a cluster of 8 Dual machines. Okay, they nead 16 FCPGA cards which cost when I remember correctly around 1500$... But for sure it is way cheaper then what IBM has done with Deep Blue. It is even possible that the Shredder machine is more expensive. At least an 8-way Opteron would cost more, I think... Greets, Thomas
