So... from what i read of the discussion on the BK board, it seems like the dice might be contingent upon the exact timing of when it is rolled, or am I misunderstanding still?

Why all this talk about the randomness of the dice? There appears to be no evidence that it isn't.

gogul: yes, it can. Modern CPUs use GHz to measure their speed.
1 GHz = 1'000'000'000 Hz
1 millisecond = 1/1000'000 of the second.
the answer to you question is: in the same millisecond, a CPU could do 1000 calculations. I our case, it could roll 1000 dice (thank you, grenv).
