I'm finally about to buy a new computer after nearly four years. I was planning
on getting an Athlon 64 FX51.  I understood from Bob Hyatt's posts that he
believed the Athlon 64 was the fastest single chip available, by far, for chess,
despite some of the bench test results at various sites, not chess specific. And
of AMD's two 64s the FX51 is the faster. Do you have chess testing results
comparisons between the 3400 and the the FX51?  Thanks.
