Xilinx's current product line goes up to 1,000,000 gates. It's helpful to stay well below that maximum for cost reasons, of course, but 150k is well within reach. The FPGA clock rate today is above Deep Blue's ASIC clock rates then. BTW, I wasn't intending to get into a discussion about the proposal here. I was asking for volunteers. -- g
