Pocket PC Thinker will be running on an HP iPAQ 2755 PDA:
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=317961&pfp=SEARCH

From my benchmarks, its 624mhz Xscale processor seems roughly equivalent to a
166mhz Pentium.

Pocket PC Thinker will be using 64MB for the hash table.

A desktop PC will host timestamp through RemoteThinker. ThinkerAutoTalk will be
on when not playing.

If for some reason, the iPAQ becomes inoperable, the backup is the Dell Axim X30
PDA. It has the same Xscale processor, but Pocket PC Thinker will only have 32MB
for the hash table.

I will separately logon as guest to chat, as it is almost impossible to chat
with a PDA.
