Hi, -Rant On- I can't seem to read one damn thread or discussion about hydra on playchess server before I run into this damn question, "Well how good would hydra be if it was running on a desktop?" The answer, not very good at all, but who cares? You aren't comparing apples and apples here, you cannot, its rediculous to do so as they are totally different entities. A great example is a Goliath Beetle and an Elephant. A Goliath beetle can put 50 times its own weight on its back, strongest creature in the animal world. Now, an elephant on the other hand can only put 25% its own body weight on its back, so which is stronger? the elephant, which is stronger for its size? the beetle, but if the challenge was to see who can pull the heaviest load, your going to put all your money on the elephant, I don't see why people are so obsessed with 'what if's'? Desktop computers are being blown apart on the playchess server by hydra, your comparing a beetle and an elephant, the only person who cares that the beetle is stronger for his size is....the beetle. -Rant Off- -Derek Paquette
