I still like the idea of "1 Desktop/Notebook" for the lowspec category. And what is the point? Comparability. How are you comparing your "research results" if it is not clear, if the advantage comes from an hardware advantage or from your newly developed algorithms? If tried to improve the aerodynamic of a Ferrari, you are also not proving that by racing against some Skodas. Of course, improving parallelization etc is an important part of Computer Go Development, but sometimes it is nice to eliminate this factor to see how the rest of the coders work is doing.
