My old Athlon 1900+ (1.6GHz) @ 1.8GHz got about 1.19 million, Slate...

I hope Hyatt will fix up the SMP stuff in Crafty soon too. Seems Craftys speedup
gets worse when you throw faster & faster duals at it.

Crafty 19.3

Dual Athlon 2.4GHz: (1.54x speedup, c'mon Hyatt.. fix it please:)
Total nodes: 74470910
Raw nodes per second: 2256694
Total elapsed time: 33
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 19.393939

Dual Athlon 2.4 w/ 1 thread
Total nodes: 62767026
Raw nodes per second: 1459698
Total elapsed time: 43
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 14.883721

Single Athlon XP 2.5GHz
Total nodes: 62767019
Raw nodes per second: 1609410
Total elapsed time: 39
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 16.410256

Single Athlon XP 1.7GHz (1711.57MHz, 213.95fsb (427.89DDR))
Total nodes: 62767091
Raw nodes per second: 1101177
Total elapsed time: 57
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 11.228070

These runs were with my optimized binary. This is available at:
ftp://newageoc.com/pub/crafty/c193smp-k7sse.zip

Brian contacted me about me making an Opteron dll via PGO. When he gets the .dyn
files back to me I'll recompile it and have a 32bit PGO version for the Opteron
on the FTP. It should beat my 1.7GHz Athlon XP scores. Once everything is
optimized in 64bit mode the Opteron should absolutely smoke it. :)
