World Famous in the sense that every collector worth his salt either has one or wants one the Sparc module was the strongest and last chess engine programmed by the now divorced Spracklen husband and wife team and the strongest program released by Saitek rated at just under 2250 Elo ,it ran on a Risc Proceesor at 20 Mhz with 1MB for the hash table it could be used in all three of the Tournament sized Wooden Saitek boards but the boards had to be modified to accept the module while not considered rare the module alone is fairly expensive generally selling for $500-$750 without any board there was however a VERY RARE upgrade available to the Sparc which increased the hash table ram to 4MB A 4Mb Sparc is highly sought after by top collectors worldwide i know of only one collector who has one the 1MB Sparc http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=20f5&.dnm=e980.jpg&.src=ph MB Degree Regards Steve
