Now I found this on chessbase site "Housed in a secure server room in Abu Dhabi, HYDRA is a 64-way cluster computer – 64 computers connected and operating as if they are a single machine. Each computer has an Intel Xeon 3.06 Ghz." Huh? Now it's 64 from 32 so soon? Nothing about that on Hydra's official site. Also according to chessbase site, "Maximum moves per second: 200million" . this is from: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2412
