I'm running Fatman1, GNU Go and GNU Go MC version for 9x9 and two instances of GNU Go for 13x13, five programs in total, on a dual-core Athlon at home.
I strongly believe current anchors are resource friendly enough for older pentium 3, 4 or even Celeron processors and not necessary being changed. Changing anchors is a big problem, similar to changing the International prototypes. Also, GNU Go is used as a reference in almost every computer-go research these days. I'm against that idea, especially for 19x19.
