But we also had other things besides speed. Just that >'mythology' said "you guys are no good if you take away your fast hardware." I think that you had more than 30:1 hardware advantage relative to 486/66. I remember that you do not use in crafty some knowledge that you used in cray blitz because it is not convenient to do it so it is not fair to compare based on nps. In a contest between fast hardware and slow hardware I like the slow hardware because if the fast hardware wins you always can say that the reason is hardware. This is the reason that I am for the commercials because if all the ideas are known there is no chance for the commercial to compete against hsu because hsu can also improve his software-hardware based on the same ideas. I believe that a 386 is enough to win everyone in the world including kasparov and deeper blue if people will write the right software. I do not say that humans will be intelligent enough to do it but I believe that there is a chance to compete against hsu by keeping the ideas as secret. Uri
