I expect it will help the >bitboard programs a lot. But I could be wrong about that. Time will tell. I hope that You are right and we will have some good 64 bits also from Intel. Until now I had the impression that only AMD is ready to launch its 64 bits accessible for us. It is just too long to wait for those 64 bits chips that never arrive. Also, I do hope that those 64 bits chips will be different from last Intel's chip that consume around 800 watts.
