Only single cpu of course. Dual alpha sucks it loses a lot of system time
due to communication.

Note that a single cpu alpha system is like 10000 dollar.
I can't remember but i prefer my dual 800 system which is worth less as
1800 dollar above that.

Regrettably wmcc doesn't allow duals.

So that gives crafty a big advantage there speedwise seen, as i join
with a single 800 now.
