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
