Theoretically it is possible to make this graphic based hardware work as a chess
engine.  The problem is that you would require specific code and software to do
that.  I don't think that there is enough money to be made to make such a
project feasible.  I read somewhere where someone was doing this to some VGA
cards.  I also read somewhere were ATI had some special beta software (driver)
code that allows your ATI video cards to do amazing things.
