the programs seem to be about 10-kyu (based on my observations of slugo and smart go at the cotsen open and manyfaces on my pc). 32gb/300 mhz is probably about 3gb/3ghz. so they can beat some 11-kyu humans.
my suspicion is that the programs could play a few (4?) stones stronger with better heuristics and less brute force (except in the end game).
