[edit] Ack

This page is practically worthless. I wish I could add something useful but I came here looking for information on some systems I recovered. Even the pathetic AS/400 page has more data. dreddnott 21:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deep Blue: 100M or 200M?

This articles says that Deep Blue is capable of making 100M calculations per second. I have been at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, USA and I have seen Deep Blue in person and while there I read that Deep Blue is capable of making 200M calculations per second. Which one of the two figures is the correct one? -- ICE77 84.223.77.226 17:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

According to IBM's Deep Blue page there was a second, updated version of Deep Blue that performed 200M chess positions per second. I don't know if it was the early version or the updated version that beat Kasparov. Someone might have to dig deeper into this. -- Henriok 20:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Henriok, thanks for the feedback. I checked the IBM Deep Blue article and I see that. The Deep Blue I saw at the Computer History Museum was an RS/6000 SP2, probably one of the updated versions from 1997 (200M x s). -- ICE77 84.222.102.15 12:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
