I think there exists a machine with up to 64 Alpha processors, which really run Crafty fast. (I know there are 32-processor ones, at least.) A single 667(?) MHz Alpha 21264a chip was running it about 1M NPS - as fast as Bob's 4x550 PIII-Xeon machine. For the WCCC last year, Bob was going to run on a 16-CPU Alpha, but then he ended up not going. Such a machine would run Crafty probably at 10M NPS or more. :)
