Probably, but I hate these bloody PC speed threads. These are chess programs not bits bytes L2 L1 alpha cache nazi machines. I prefer chess algortihms to 64-bit optimaistion and cache bollocks :) The ones that are always droning on about bits, bytes and 64 bits are the ones who get surprised when their programs fail to perform in chess tournaments.
