Looks like a lot of work is going into the project by these students. However, less than 5 frames per second at 256x256 resolution on the typical single core CPU is not quite playable yet. They managed 16fps at 256x256 on a quad core QX6700. Still not playable. I would hate to see the benchmarks at normal 1280x1024 resolution, probably <1 fps on a quad core. OUCH.

System Name:	ICE-QUAD // ICE-CRUNCH
Processor:	Q6600 // 2x Xeon 5472
Memory:	2GB DDR // 8GB FB-DIMM
Video Card:	HD3850-AGP // FireGL 3400
CRT/LCD Model:	2 x Samsung 204Ts = 3200x1200
Sound Card:	Audigy 2
Software:	Windows Server 2003 R2 as a Workstation
