Well, give me a machine recommendation ... I'm about buying such
a ,beast' in a few weeks, if everything goes right ;-)

BTW, how long will this ,crack' approach last ... Did someone
estimate the time necessary to crack the key ? Given a fixed
scenario of n machine ?

Currently I want to get a Tyan Titan Pro (S1668ATX) with maybe 2
200MHz PPro CPU's. Or should it be another board, which is maybe
able to run faster RAM as SDRAM ?

A little advice is apprechiated ...
