Several games of that the sheikh played with a 32 node monster, though it was unclear whether it had 32 or 64 FPGA processors :) In any case, the bugs per second of rybka is always higher than that of Hydra in software, because i assume Rybka gets more nodes a second in software than Hydra gets in software :) Vincent
