ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Whoever sold you that lost a lot of money. The specs are meh nowadays, but the dual monitors are $500 new. The speakers are $375 new. $125 for a computer like that is a fucking steal.

Black Thermaltake Armour Supertower w/700watt modular PS and aftermaket Cooling system - $250
Asus AI Gaming Systemboard w/Intel Quad Core CPU - $300
OCZ 8Gb XTC Gold Memory kit - $150
2.0Tb HDD - $150
Blu-Ray Burner - $180
Geforce GTX 260 Maxcore55 - $180
Creative X-FI Xtreme gamer - $100
Razer Lycosa LED Keyboard and Deathadder Mouse/Destructor Surface - $125
Logitech Z-5500 THX Surround - $375
Samsung T260 26" 1080p LCD - $300
Samsung T230 23" 1080p LCD for dual screen gaming!! - $200
More like $2300-2500.

Also, the PSU is major overkill, and the graphics suck ($40 extra for 4 more fps when compared to 5770). Still though, CUDA.

Not the most high end system, but you did good. Note that you can swap out the CPU/RAM/Mobo to make it an i7 rigg should you choose to do so since its off the shelf parts rather than some shitty HP/Dell.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
