There is a huge difference... I don't admit anything "reluctantly". In 1995 when this discussion started, computers were nowhere near GM strength. They are now clearly playing at that level, thanks to great advances in hardware speed from 1995. But they are not quite super-GM (2700+) yet, unless you talk about very pricey hardware. Not a $500 home computer.
