It's interesting because the vast majority of chess engines are 32-bit binaries without any source code provided. Granted if you're running Crafty you'd be silly to compile it as 32-bit; but most other engines don't provide you that option. It will be several years before we see commercial 64-bit engines for Opteron. We may never see them for Itanium.
