I assume you speak here about the intel McKinley itanium 2 which is $7300 a piece and 64 bits with a load of registers and 3 MB L3 cache. It's a great chip. The Hammer i do not see as a 64 bits chip in the true sense. It's having a few 64 bits extensions like the P4 and the K7 already have. Just a few more now i assume which with some luck are usable for computerchess this time. Best regards, Vincent
