Thanks!

I see the next 64 bits chess programming as very important and the most
interesting event in the next few years. Disgracefuly in never come! I hope that
AMD will push 64 CPU arrival for all of us. Now I see that there are no more
reason for me to wait for 64 bits any more. Will buy my next computer for Linux
without any more waiting. It is likely that 64 bits chip will have more readily
available Linux system that Windows one.
